Frank Slater, who lives in Stafford
just over the line, had very narrow es.
cape from fatal injury at the farmers
picnic at the lake Saturday evening. A
display of fireworks was being given from
the wharf. While firing some roman
candles, the sparks ignited box of sky
rockets. In an instant there was an ex-
plosion and the rockets were flying in ev-
cry direction. The crowd rushed to get
out Of the way, but one of the rockets
struck Mr.. Slater In the neck, cutting
deep hole and burning off his whiskers.
One of the small arteries In the neck was
severed, and he bled so freely that it was
thought at first that the jugular vein was
cut. Word was sent to West Stafford,
where physician from Stafford Springs
was summoned by telephone. DIR. Sulli-
van arrived about an hour after the acci-
dent and was able to stanch the flow of
blood. The cut only lacked the thickness
of sheet of paper of opening the jugular
vein. His heavy beard no doubt broke
the force of the rocket and saved his life.
At last accounts he was getting along
nicely and his recovery is expected.

ties. It Is not quite clear just the way in

supposed that in throwing over the fish

ing it to explode its charge. He received
the full charge in his back, just at the

A Suit to Make the Winr er OF a PTiZe
Divide.

Lancaster, Special.-A rather novel
suit is now pending in this country. 1t
grew out of an cffer of the Atlanta
Constitution to pay $500 to any new
subscriber to the weekly issue OF that
paper who guessed nearest to the num-
Der oi bales OF cotton delivered at the
port CT Savannah fcr the year ending
September, 1900 Mr.. Lewis Cauthen
Of Health Springs is the canyassins
agent Of the paper and in taking sub
scriptions had an agreement with sub
scribers that they would divide tn.
prize equally with him If the winner.
When the guess box was opened 1t was
found that Mr.. Wylie Lowery Of Oak
hurst was the winner and he accord
ingly secured the $500, which he do
posted with the Kershaw Mercantile
and Banking company. Lowery now
refuses to divide, claiming he had no
such agreement with Cauthen, and
such agreement, il had, could not be
enforced in the courts because il would
be in the nature OF gambling con-
tract which is contrary TO public pol
icy, etc. Cauthen thereupon commen-
ced suit Tor the recovery of his half OF
the money. making the banking COM
pany a varty and procured an injunc-
ton restraining the banking company
from paying out the money until the
suit is determined. II should have
been stated that Cautnen advanced the
81 subscription price to the paper for
Lowery. A motion was made before
Justice Jones few days ago by Low
ory'S at't-ney TO dissolve the injunc-
ton. The motion was refused. The
case will come up for hearing at the
next term of court.
