Hearing a noise In the opposite direc-
ton he took hold of the muzzle OF the
gun with his left hand and was turning
in the direction of the noise when the
gun exploded. He could not tell wheth-
err the trigger was tripped by twig or
whether the jar made when he moved

plications set in, the young man viii
soon be able to return to his work. but
will be minus finger. He has been

vius was adiudged insane by the
county insane commissioners yester-
day evening, and her case having been

have her husband sent to the insane
asylum, because, she said. he was try

the other demented caused a peculiar
mixup in the county clerks office by
having the husband brought before the

the wife on the same charge the next
day. Both are very wealthy and Mrs.
Silvius has engaged an attorney to APP
peal her case, and attempt to have the
