TWO Cunning Accidents.

Joshua Owings, of Warfeldsburg, was ac-
cdentally shot and seriously injured while
| hunting with Munroe Yohn, near Bloom, on
| Tuesday. He was shot in both sides of his
| face and left arm and hand. About twenty
| shot struck him in the face, and nearly as
many in his hand and arm. Three shot passed
| through the lower lid of the left eye causing
paralysis of the internal rectus muscle. and
preventing him turning his eye outward; also
penetrating the iris. After rigid examina-
ton by one of the physicians he fears the eye
| may have to be taken out. AS the skull at
that point is very thin the shot may have pen
etrated the brain. The case will be examined
in few days by X-R Rays. DR.. Ed. Cronk
was summoned and called in consultation
DR.. NJ. l.. Bot, of this city. After carefully
examining the case they decided TO send him
to the Presbyterian Hospital, Baltimore. DR..
Cronk took him down Wednesday. A num-
Der of gunners were in Il woods near by and
it is supposed that Owings was shot by one of
them, AS Yohn was not more than 30 feel from
him at the time, and at that distance the re-
suit would certainly have been fatal.
Albert Brown. the 16- year old son of Mrs
Margaret Brown, of Hoods Mills, was taken
to the Maryland University Hospital early
Wednesday evening with his right shoulder
blade and one of his ribs fractured and suffer
ing from other injuries as a result of the acct
dental discharge of gun he had been using
that afternoon about 4 clock.
The accident occurred near Browns home
The boy, according to his statement to Dr. A.
A. Matthew'S. the resident physician at the
hospital, had been shooting rabbits during the
greater part of the afternoon. When he had
recovered the last rabbit he lowered his gun to
put the game in his pocket. As he stopped
the gun was discharged, the entire load of
shot entering his right side under the armpit.
A portion of his right shoulder blade was
splntered. A number of shot are believed
to have penetrated mis- lungs. He was carried
home by companions and attended by DR.. W.
f. Lucas. Upon the advice of the latter the
boy was taken to Baltimore, the physician
and his mother accompanying him.
Late Wednesday night young Browns con-
ditiun was said to be critical and the chances
for his recovery were regarded AS slim. He
died about noon Thursday.

AUTOMOBILES FOR PROFESSIONAL


There are many men who can make con-
slant and economical use of an automobile in
their business, such as physicians and other
professional men, but who have never been in
position to investigate for themselves the
merits of the horseless carriage. To be sure,
all automobiles are not suited to such use.
The Cadillac for $3.50 is the ideal machine for
general use, and it has proved itself again and
again. Comfort. speed and safety are all
united in the Cadillac. Those interested can
easily find more details by communicating
with the Mar-Del- Mobile Company, 1904
Union Trust Bldg, Baltimore, who represent
the Cadillac as well as the Searchmont and
Waverly Electric. The company is looking
for energetic men to act as agents in Maryland
and Delaware.
