Special to the News.

Well Mr. Ed tor news scarce this time
Excuse me for neglccting one item
last week. II. Mitchell and Miss Ellen
Huddleson were happily married Sun
day before Christmas.
H. Coppinger's child continues to be
very i'll.
Lon Layne narrowly escaped death in
the mines last THURSDAY, He charged
hole and touched 1t off just as all the
men went down to dinner and after the
shot fired Lon went back to see what
it had done but it had done nothing but
blowed tamping, Lon then took his
tamping stick and ran it in the hole to
see if the tamping was out and at that
instant it fred again and the result was
his right hand was severely wounded,
his face was bruised and cut very badly,
cut through the left eye lid, cut
on the nose, cut through the upper
lip, his eyes noariy put out by the ore,
and thero is not 4 sound place on face
One finger is broken and his legs are
hurt and be is almost total wreck but
will recover. Lon said frozen powder
was the cause. Everyone is very care
full now about how they charge and han
die powder and will continue so for a
few days and then they will be as care
less as ever, Lon says he has some
thing to tell everyone who works in the
mines.
Uncle Jimmie Layne said II he was
shooting in the mues he would shoot
today and go back tomorrow to see what
the shot had done. That's good logic
but it won't 60 here.
John Butler was arrested at the mines
yesterday.
Wonder what has become of Echo and
Caroline Chapel.
Well boys since you have had such q
hard time trying to kill that owl tel
you how to do it without any trouble
The next time you see him in tree
walk up to him very CLOSE and then stol
and draw his attention and when b,
gets his eyes set on yours then walk a
round the tree and he will keep hi
eyes on you all the time and he won
turn his head back at all but will kee
on looking at you and all the tina h,
twisting his head and when you hav
walked around the TIRE three or fou
times he will have twisted his head OF
t and it will fall on the ground and the
you can pick it up and 1t won't DO Ion
, till his body will fall too. That is tn
easiest way ever tried to kill an ow
Try it and be convinced.
