Lost His Foot.

Chris Neddehriep, the thirteen-year-
old son of Fritz Neddenriep, of Carson
Valley, met with a shocking accident
Sunday morning, while hunting at
Mud lake. He had laid his shotgun
down and was getting into boat,
when the piece was accidentally dis
charged. The heavy charge of shot
entered the left foot, the boy says,
above the heel, and came out at the
bottom of the foot; but the physicians
think he must be mistaken, for the
character of the wound indicated that
the charge entered the bottom of the
foot and came out above the heel.
The wound was terrible one, and
the boy was taken to San Francisco
Sunday evening by his father and DR..
Gerdes. DIR. Gerdes returned We'd
nesday and reported that the foot was
amputated at the hospital in San Fran
cisco Tuesday morning.

MAKING PREPARATIONS.


h
London, Aug. New preparations
for the coronation of King Edward
next Saturday are proceeding rather
mechanically. The erection of the IA
miliar street barriers, the cleansing
and decorating of the stands. and the
rehanging of decorations attracts lit
tie attention. Public interest in the
actual proceedings, however, is re-
kindled by official assurance that the
king is getting on finely and that his
majesty will be able to bear the ia
tigue of being crowned. The publica-
ton of the official programme of the
procession shows no special changes
from the original arrangement, but
the ceremonies in Westminster Abbey
have been curtailed by the omission
Of the litany and the sermon and by
the recital of the recognition once in
stead Of four times. A new series of
rehearsals have begun at the Abbey
with dignifed unconventional reeit-
ais and these are far more impressive
than any thing connected with the
street spectacle.
The. city council Of Westminster, in
compliance with the kings wishes,
have voted that no further expendi-
lures be incurred in replacing the
street decorations. The clubhouses
which line a considerable portion of
the route and most of the other build
ings are being redecorated; the Cana
dian arch is, being redressed with fresh
specimens Of .Canada's agricultural
products, and the Indian contingent is

likely will accept, is thoroughly adapt
