and perhaps disfgurdd for life by a
hunter In the woods near his home.
He received the entire charge in his
face and chest, one SHOT going through
his nose and others tearing his cheeks
and shoulders. The hunters had
startled partridge and fired, and Os-
born was in line of the charge. When
the hunters heard Osborns cry and
saw him fall they fled into the thicket
and disappeared. Osborn became un-
conscious, but recovered sufficiently to
drag himself home. He thinks he rec
ognized one of the hunters.
