and Carmichael and started back
to camp, shooting squirrels ON the
way. When within 300 or 400 yards
of camp he shot squirrel and II
lodged in the forks of tree. Ol

from the ground he fell, striking
on his head and shoulders. His
left arm was broken about midway
between the elbow and wrist and
his head, shoulder and breast were
severely bruised. He was alone at
the time, but when he regained
consciousness, about an hour later,
he managed to get to his feet, and,
using his gun for crutch. hobbled
along towards camp. He could
make little noise which attracted
the attention of man on horse
back, who notified the boys in
camp. A wagon was procured and
he was taken to the camp and a
doctor, who lived about four miles
away was summoned. The frac.
ture to the arm was reduced, and
the next day Noble and Carmichael
took the injured man to the NJ. X.

home with him, arriving here last
Friday evening.
Upon arriving, DR.. Chas. NJ. Jones
was summoned and is now looking
after the case.

resting as well as could be expected
and IL no trouble arises from the
injuries to his head he will pull
through all right. But twas a
close call.

Pittsburg, and other points, and of
course the service is very unsa-is-
