YOUNG MAN
BADLY INJURED
Earnest Snow Meets with Fearful
Accident Last Sunday.
While starting Out Hunting Rabbits
Gets n Bad Shot Gun Wound in
the Leg-Bled Very sadly.

Last Sunday morning Ernest Snow
and companion took their guns and
started in the direction OF Kiddville with
the view Of hunting rabbits. As they
approached the crossing at that place
where there is quite high embankment
on the railroad they met some other
young men coming back and as it is usual
had few jokes between them. While
they were thus joking Ernest laid his gun
down on the track with the muzze to-
ward him and he had scarcely let 60 Of it
when it started to slip down the embank-
ment. The gun had only slid short dis
tance when the hammer struck something
on the bank discharging the gun and put
ting rearly the entire charge of shot into
his leg about three inches above the knee,
completely tearing the flesh from that
portion Of his leg and severing several
small arteries.
His companions took the unfortunate
young man to Thomas Kids residence
and Tom hitched up his flyer and brought
him home as quickly as possible. DR.
Stanton was called and after hasty ex-
animation of the wound called in DR.
Ferguson to assist him in the care Of the
same and administer the choloroform.
The shot tore hole in his leg about three
inches in diameter and striking the bone
cut the flesh loose from it almost to the
groin. Dr. Stanton removed number
of shot from the wound all of which were
flattened out as though they had struck
steel plate, and none OF them bearing the
least resemblance to shot.
The unfortunate young man is doing as
well as possible and unless complication S
arise in the way of blood poison or similar
trouble the doctors think it will be un-
necessary to amputate the leg. Mr..
Snow was recently married and this is a
very hard blow on him just as he is start
ing out on the voyage of life
