FlasIer Man Comes Near to Fatal
Injury.
April IS

Flagler, Ia, April 1S.-One of the
grown members of the new French
colony of this place had narrow es-
cape from being fatally wounded
with target rifle. Some boys were
shooting at mark when the French
man got in range of the flying bull
lets. One of the missiles, a 22-calibre
ball struck the man in the thigh about
five inches below the hip joint, and
passed almost entirely through the
leg, barely missing the bone. The
victim of the accident had just step
ped up on slight ridge when he was
struck. Had the rife been discharg-
ed second sooner the bullet would
have doubtless entered the abdomen
and made fatal wound.

The properties OF the Boren Gulch

who went over the claims last week
states that there are millions of tons
of good, profitable milling ore mined

soon be shipped, with an increased
force of men at work, at the rate of
over carload a day.
owners or part owners of other
mines have recently visited the Bor-
en- Gulch properties, or sent repre-
sentatives, and the manager has been
given to understand that there are
other similar positions open for him
at an Increased salary, but thus far
he has declined to consider them,
preferring to remain just where he Is
in the La Platas. Several skilled and
unbiased mining men who have gone
over the work done declare that the
Boren Gulch mines will prove to be
one OF the best and most profitable
In Colorado; and it is well known
that our Centennial state has some
OF the best mines in the world.

ELOQUENT SERMON BY THE REV A. Fl.
 POST.
 Rev A. H. Post favored his congre- gation here, last SundayImorning with a~fine sermon upon " "Prayer-its ne- cessity, sincerity and benefit" To hear him one can hardly refrain from believing that he has been a man of prayer. His faith in God and that He hears prayers seemed indisputable from his point of view and belief. That God answers prayer seemed to the preacher most evident although not always as desired at the time pe- titions are made. If we believe in a God, we must believe He hears his children pray, and hearing truly an- swers in His own good time and way for our good. Such seemed the sub stance of MT Posts sermon, last Sun- day, clothed in language land expres- sion most pleasing to all who heard him. He informed his congregation of his intended absence from this vil- lage over next Sunday, and therefore there will be no preaching here on that day.
