George Tyler Is the Victim of Dan
gerous Practice.

Anaconda, Oct. 1S.-George Tyler, 49,
year-old lad who lives with his parents
at AS Oak street, was the victim Of a
distressing accident yesterday, the result
of which was that he sustained wound
inflicted by 22-caliber bullet.
During the afternoon young Tyler, in
company With number of other boys,
went out over the flume to the new
works. The boys took box Of car
tridges along with them and found great
sport in placing them upon rock and
exploding them by means of another
rock or a long rod of some sort.
The youngsters did not realize that
this was a dangerous practice. but made
a further display of evident thoughtless-
ness by not always using blanh car
tridges. Some of them were loaded, and
that is how the Tyler boy happened to
get hurt. One Of his comparisons ex-
ploded one Of the cartridges. and the
bullet struck Tyler in the right shoulder.
The injured boy was brought home
and City Physician Evans was called to
attend to his wants. An effort was made
to find the bullet by probing. but with
out success. Fortunately the wound Is
not considered at all serious.

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Anaconda, Oct. 1S.-The following in

in Anaconda will serve to illustrate that,
surprising as the fact may be, there are
a great many people who fail to under

1t was Saturday night, and a team
ster who had started home after spend

bered that he needed some hay and oats
to feed his team with over Sunday. Ac-

He played slough" all evening and
finally went home. OF course, the hay
and oats were not there.
1t being Saturday night, and knowing
the store to be busy, he thought no more
about It, thinking it would be up later
However, it did not come Saturday
night nor yet Sunday, and Monday
morning, bright and early the man ap-
peared at the feed store with fire in his
eye.
Before the matter could be expla med
to him he had cursed the entire estab-
lishment from the owner down to the
Office boy, and went away shaking his
head obviously, finding the story hard
to believe, but averred that in the future
he would order his hay and oats in per-
son.
