across the street near w T Rodens
residence. His daughter Bessie
ran into the wire, throwing her to
the sidewalk, cutting serious
cash in her face. A doctor was
called to dress the wound. If the
perpetrators of this deed can be
found they will be shown that
the people have some rights the
average kid is bound to respect.

MAY LOSE HIS ARM.
Full Charge of Shot Takes
Effect in Left Arm.

Allan Kettle, young man aged
about 20 years, is today in rather i'm
minent danger of losing his left arm
as the result of terrible accident he
met with yesterday evening.
He spent yesterday at Mobiles Lake
hunting and about 6 o'clock started
home. When he reached the shore he
attempted to remove his double bar
relied shot gun from the bow of the
toat. He grasped the gun by the
muzzle and was in the act of drawing
1t towards him when the hammer
caught on some small projection on
the inside of the boat, with the result
the load in one barreli was discharged,
the entire charge taking effect in
young Kettles left arm. The arm was
terribly torn and lacerated, the charge
of shot tearing its way clear through
the arm near the wrist and again
through the upper portion of the arm
near the shoulder. The unfortunate
youth was brought to this city late
last evening and his injuries tempor-
arily dressed by DIR. DeVore, assisted
by DR.. Gasson. AS the young man is
without funds and has no relatives in
this section of the country he will be
cared for by the county authorities
He was taken to Council Bluffs this
afternoon and at the w. G.. IT. hos.
pital where he will be given medical
attention, an effort will be made to
save the injured arm but it is almost a
hopeless case.

The Man who Does Things.

The Man who Does Things.
The demand in the business and
scientific world of the day is for the
man who knows how thing should
be done and is able to do it. The day
of the mere theorizer is past, if it was
ever here. 1t is the practical man who
is wanted. There are no Micawbers
nowadays, at least among men who
keep outside of the almshouse. In
stead of waiting for something to turn
up man must turn things up and
then make the best of his opportun-
ities.-Utica Observer.

John b Reagan, who was post

rallied from his recent illness and
says he means to live a long time
