There is little hope of thesrecovery of
the little girl who was shot out near
Bethel church Monday. The little girl
is the 3-year-old daughter of Samuel
Thompson and being SO young and with
cut rugged vitality it is feared she will
not pull thru. She received the full
charge Of an old shotgun loaded with
No. 6 shot in the left breast, the leaden
pellets uodging under the left cavicle.
The lung was not injured and there is q
hope, unless blood poisoning sets in,
that the child may live. But her life is
hanging by a thread. This is one Of the
saddest accidents that has happened for
many month.

| iured the roof of his mouth and caused
| him much Inconvenience. Before the eX-
| animation of witnesses began the point
| was raised by Harshbarger' attorneys
| that DIR. Jerrel did not have diploma
or license from the state dental board
| for the practice of dentistry: they claim
the state laws are very strict on this
point, and that not only does the law
prohibit a person from collecting any
money for work of this kind unless he
holds diploma. but that he may even
be fined not to exceed 5000 or sent to
f Jail for period not to exceed forty
l.days. This law was passed by the legis-
lature about ten years ago. and is still
| In force. DIR. Jerrel neither admitted or
denied that he had diploma and the

A serious and what may prove cost
| ly blunder was committed by the ofii-
GERS here Saturday evening when they
arrested an innocent and unoifending
stranger. 1t appears that the stranger,
who was formerly a school teacher but
is now an insurance agent, went INTO
the Fair store and made a purchase,
rendering in payment what he supposed
to be a $40 bill The clerk contended 1t
was only a SIS, and after some parleying
lit remained in this shape. The officers
heard of it, and supposed him to be
short change man or sharper They
came to Mr.. Dararh and asked him If he
would appear against him in case they
arrested him. Mr.. Darrah informed
them that If he attempted it any place
else he would. The officers did not walt
for second attempt on the part of the
supposed sharper. but arrested him at
once. OF course he claimed it was only
a mistake and as they had no case
against him he was released.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. s.-Great
floods; caused by the Overlooking of
the Yangtse, have caused the deaths
eef many thousands in China. The
river has risen 40 feet and for hun
dreds of miles the country is. a great
lake with only the tops of trees and
an, occasional roof showing. At Anl-
ing the town is flooded, some of the
houses to their roofs. At Kin Kiang
the native town is fiooded and two
feet of water stands in the foreign
settlement. Lower down the river
towards Wa HUI the. destruction was
greater and boatmen estimate that
10000 were drowned in that district
Cheng -Teh was wiped away by Hood
and 10000 drowned there and many
other-points have been Inundated, I'M
vo1ving awful loss of life and great
destruction of. property. It1was
feared that the embankments built

would break and if it did floods would
drown hundreds of thousands.
