by her neighbor, Emma Jackson. Tho
snootinE was accidental. Emma shot
at Il chicken.
1T may seem a queer combination of
circumstances, the bringing of Saily's
digits in such close association with
n neighbors fowl. but n little cxplann-
ton Will suffice to show that every
thlng was quite regular rs far as Sally
was concerned. Emma Jackson missed
the intended mark and the ball struck
n paltng in the fence. from which it
glanced and hit Sally Jones. 1t passed
through the third and lodged in the
middle finger of her left hand. from
whence doctor extracted il. The in

had the jackson woman arrested and
taken before Justice Mathews, but
compromised the matter on the pris-
oner's agreeing to pay the DOCTORS bill.
