BLANCH RANDALL SHOT
Hand Pierced By Ballet in Z Seas1tioAsl
Sheefias Act et The Carnival.

No matter how true the marks
man, no matter how unerring the
aim, there is faulty gun at times,
or the lights are bad and accident
viii occur
In this way Blanch Randall was
shot through the hand last night in
a sensational shooting act that is
part of the program of the stupen-
dous, historical production North
America, being presented by the New
Parker Amusement company. A part
OF the expert shooting is when Otto
Randall breaks with rifle a glass
hall held by Blanch between the
thumb and index finger Of her right
hand 1t was during a free exhibit
ton in front of the arena that the
bullet went hit wide of the mark,
and pierced her finger, coming out
palm of the hand. A local physi-
elan was called to attend her 1t
resulted in very painful wound,
but not a serious one, but the hand
will be sore for several days.
Blanch Randall has had chapter
of accidents. In Waco she was in
jured twice while going through the
steel loop in the big wooden ball,
but she was not deferred from her
sensational act and has fearlessly
day after day made the ride down
the steel incline and through the big
circle. tempting fate at each per-
formance, and laughing at whatever
destiny had in store for her At
Hillsboro last week, she was shot in
the left arm, just below the elbow
but twice daily since then she has
faced the dangerous muzzle of OF
to Randall's rifle, and has never
flinched when the bullets intended for
the glass balls have whistled very
close to her.
The little woman had a great deal
of presence of mind last night when
she was injured The ball struck
the finger squarely, and the audi
ence at once saw that she was in
jured Blood flowed freely, but she
did not scream or cry out but grasp
ing her right hand lirmiy with the
left, retired inside the arena and was
removed to hospital tent in the
rear. The doctor examined the

Maccabees
To Encamp
BOTH KNIGHTS AND LADIES WILL
ENGAGE IN DRILLS AT THE
jamestown EXPO
sITIoN.

At their biennial encampment just
ended at Columbus, Ohio. the Knights
of Maccabees decided to add a picked
body Of men from the Uniform Rank
Of the order to the military pageant
at the jamestown Exposition, to be
held at Hampton Roads neal Norfolk,
Virginia, next year. The decision is
unusual and demonstrates the wide.
spread popularity of the exposition,
inasmuch as the order does not make
a practice of holding yearly encamp'
'ments. These are a biennial feature
of the meetings and ordinarily the
next encampment would have been
held in 1903. In view of the fact
that there will be a great military dis.
play at the exposition, attended by
military delegations from nearly all
the great fraternal orders of the coun.
try, there was little hesitation at the
recent encampment in authorizing a
departure from the custom of the or.
der.
This decision will bring to the Ex'
position at least, 2,5O0' Knights with
their wives. Five hundred members
of the Ladies OF the Maccabees, an
auxiliary order, will also attend the
Exposition, taking part in the drills
on Lee Parade. Both bodies will be
brilliantly uniformed and their smart
drills will add greatly to the attrac-
liveness of the military feature of this
great historical celebration.
The members Of the Uniform Rank
OF the Maccabees Will be 4uartered in
tents in the general encampment on
the grounds. These tents will be fur
nIshed by the exposition company and
will embody all the latest sanitary fea.
lures adopted by the United States
Army. Meals will be furnished to the
visitors at a low price and e%yerything
possible will be done to make their
stay enjoyable. Drills of a purely mil
ltary character will be Judged by the
Army officers detailed for the purpose
by the United States government.
Major General W., II. Sletzer, com
handing the Uniform Rank, expects
to visit Norfolk in a short time to
make arrangements with the officials
of the Exposition for the great en-
campment. While he is here the date
of the Msccabees' visit viii be hxei
and a day set aside ON the exposition
calendar to be known as Maccabees'
Day.
The Knights Of the Maccabees is
one Of the largest fraternal orders in
the world. The Ladles Of the Macca,
bees is one OF the largest auxiliary
fraternal bodies. Both bodies attend
ed the st. Louis Fair and were highly
praised for the excellence and military
precision OF their drills. Drills In
which the ladies will compete with the
men will probably be a feature Of the
Maccabees' visit at jamestown.
