Shot His Hand Of.

This morning at an early hour. Mir. J. F. Gleason got in buggy and started across the river to hunt birds. When about mile from the bridge on South Side, he saw some doves in a nearby field and alighted from his buggy in order to get a shot at them. He was a little careless in handling his gun, and had his left hand over the muzzle as he got out of the buggy. In some manner, the gun was discharged. the contents tearing through his hand, and as a consequence he will lose all of the fingers on the left hand between the thumb and little finger. As soon as the accident occurred, he jumped in his buggy and drove to the city as past as his team could bring him, and in a few minutes after he got to the city, he was at a doctors office, where the flow of blood was stopped.
