I. Ed. Rhodes was shot through the
right arm by rifle bullet last Sunday
morning, the ball striking just below
the socket in the muscle, part of the
ball passing through the arm striking
and splintering the bone as it went,
one part of the ball came out on the
fleshy part of the back. The wound
lisa bad one but we hope will not be
the cause of Ed. losing his arm. The
whole business is the result of an &C.
cident, of course. Ed. and Fred
Gaden had been shooting at a target
and had been joshing each other about
which of them was the best shot.
Gaden had the rifle and Ed. had placed
the target up some 200 yards away and
had stepped to one side about ten rods
and was waiting for Gaden to shoot.
Somehow or other the gun was dis
charged accidentally, striking Ed.
as stated above. Had he been stand
ing a few inches further north he
would have been killed. A phone
message called for a doctor and DIR.
Bergstrom was sent out who dressed
the wound and brought Ed. to town
where he is receiving the best treat
ment possible at home. The COURIER
hopes that his injuries are not
serious and that he will soon recover
