@ressine accident happened to Miss Sa-
sdie NJ. Anderson, the 14-year- old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. N. Ander-
son, living mile and a half straight
north of town. the entire charge from a
shotgun entering her body.
John, the second son of Mr.. and Mrs,
Anderson, had been out in the woods
during the day hunting and when he
returned home about o'clock laid his
gun and duck call on the kitchen table
and went on into another room. A few
minutes later Sadie went into the
kitchen to start the fire preparatory to
getting supper. She was followed into
the kitchen by her 7-y'ear-old brother
Harry. Sadie had placed the kindling
in the stove and after touching a match
to 1t stepped back to see that it lighted.
In the meantime her little brother had
caught sight of the duck call lying on
the table and back of the gun. He had
climbed upon the table and in getting
down pulled the table cloth in such
manner that the hammer of the gun
was pulled back and when the boy let
go the gun was discharged.
The heavy load of shot struck Miss
Anderson just as she had stepped back
from the stove and in her dazed condi-
ton she thought the stove had ex-
pioded.
Her parents, who were in another
room when the. accident occurred, came
quickly in and they were first to dis
cover the poor girls misfortune. She
was taken to bed and DR.. Evans hur-
riedly summoned, who dressed the
CHASTITY wound.
The shot entered just behind the
right hip bone, passed little forward
thru the gluteal muscles. tearing Off
two inches of the posterior part of the
rectum, about one-half inch above the
anus, and the shot, wads and pieces OF
her clothing lodged on the innominate
bone on her left side. The girl is still
alive, but in very critical condition.

an isolation hospital is badly needed

OF the disease and would save the city
from any fear of an epidemic. The

Last week Sheriff Hook made good
haul of intoxicants, but M. A. McCord
holds the record on that business in
this county, says the Journal. After a
raid on some of the drug stores in Col
fax, some years ago, Mr.. McCord, then
sheriff, destroyed on the bridge the fol-
lowing lot of intoxicants: Two thou
sand bottles of whisky, five barrels of
whisky, two kegs of wine five big bar
rels of beer and two barrels of brandy.
The booze was taken to the bridge over
the Skunk river north of Colfax, after
midnight, and with no other witnesses
except the sheriff and his deputies and
the two draymen. After the destruc-
ton was completed the glass and the
fragments of the barrels were swept
into the river, and all trace of the
transaction was lost in the swift run
ming stream.
