of Explosion, Laid to Rest.

Remains of George Anderson, Victim
Of Explosion, Laid to Rest.
Special to Times Republican.
Harlan, July l5.-The funeral of
George Anderson, the twelve year old
son of Nels Anderson. a contractor of
this place, and who died last Saturday
evening from wounds received by the
explosion of cannon on the evening of
the 3rd inst. was held yesterday at 10
O'Clock from the Congregational church
in this city. George was member of
the Harlan band and his remains We're
escorted to the church and cemetery by
the members of the band, and also by
the members Of his Sunday school class
The funeral was one of the largest held
in Harlan In recent years.
Rev. James Parsons, pastor OF the
above church, came down from Lake
View. where he is taking an outing. to
preach the funeral The remains We're
laid to rest in the Harlan cemetery.
This funeral was a doubly sad one ow-
ing to the fact that just one week ago
yesterday occurred the funeral of Chas.
kinsey, the other victim of the sad ac-
cidant. No event of recent years has
been so universally regretted by our
people as this accident. resulting in the
death of two persons, and the serious
injury of third, and the lesson 1t has
SO dearly taught will be long remem-
bered.
The death of little George Anderson
was more to be regretted because of the
fact that he was an innocent bystander.
Carefully guarded by a watchful moth
er, he had, but few minutes before,
been informed of7the testing of the new
cannon, by young friend. and had
gone to witness the event with the re-
suit above stated.

Many of the farmers in this vicinity
are blowing corn for the fifth time,
a thing almost unknown before, but
the continued wet weather has pre-
vented cultivation and retarded the
growth of the corn until the grass and
weeds have secured such a start that
1t has been necessary to cultivate II
two times more than usual. However
corn is now making a tremendous
growth and promises good average
crop. Haying is now commencing and
is an exceptionally heavy crop.

On one day of last week a favorite
horse of August Meyer farmer re-
siding west of town, dislocated Its
neck. The animal got its hind leg over
the halter strap and threw itself in a
|cramped position. Surprising that Its
condition was critical, Mr.. Meyers
first impulse was to have the animal
killed to relieve it Of it's intense suf-
fering, but. owing to It's value, he de-
cided to have an examination made
by veterinary surgeon. DIR. Walrod
made close examination and found
the neck dislocated at the fifth cervical
vertebra. He informed the owner that
the horse could not live long in that
condition, but that an operation would
be very dangerous and delicate. yet
with Mr.. Meyers consent, he would
|attempt to reduce the location. The
doctor used a block and tackle, with
trees as fastenings, and pulled the neck
of the animal enough to allow the dis
located vertebrae to slip back into place
without other injury to the horse.
When the doctor returned the next day
the horse seemed quite easy and was
eating grain. This story may seem
peculiar. and we believe that the
achievement Is unprecedented in vet
Urinary science.
