WOUNDED BOY
Lay FOR HOURS
LAD SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD
LAY BLEEDING AND uNcoN-
scIous NEAR HOME.

cobLEERs, July. 11-CharlIe cald'
well, son of James Caldwell, was ac-
ciduetally shot Monday while hunting
ground hogs and will probably die. He
started out in the morning, and when
he did not return at night search was
instituted. His father found him
bleeding and unconscious, his head
fractured, 300 yards from the house,
where he had lain from in the morn
ing until 10 at night. During moments
of consciousness he tried to drag him
self toward home and succeeded in
moving few yards. He recovered
consciousness Tuesday long enough
to say that the gun was discharged as
he was climbing fence, the ball pass
ing through his head. During the day
the family heard his moans, but
thought 1T was the bleating of calves.
There is little hope of his recovery.

DOCTOR Summoned.

Medical aid was summoned. Dr. G,
As Wiugerter was passing the church
and he quickly responded. Mr.
clarke's son-in.law, DR.. W. 8. Fulton,
was also called, arriving about fifteen
minutes lsset. The two physicians
worked with Mr.. Clarke, while Drs
IIlldreth, Baird and Alderman were
later called, arriving in a short time,
Mr.. Clark seemed to gradually
grow weaker The laGt alarmed rela'
lives and friends who had quickly
gathered around him, but the physl'
clans opened a vein that seemed to
relieve the tension on the brain.
While the patient did not regain con.
sclousness, be did sink into a sleep.
The matter OF keeping the patient
In the church over night was discuss
ed, and while some of the physicians
favored the step, DR.. Ackerman was
of the opinion that he could be taken
home. Upon this advice the family
determined to take Mr.. Clarke to his
home on Main stree above Ninth.
An effort was made to secure an am
bulance, but after long wait it was
found that all were in use including
the city one, and upon the offer of
Chief Clemens a stretcher was pro,
yided and Mr.. Clarke. taken to his
home in the patrol wagon. The ride
did not seem to harm the patient IN
the least. DR.. Fulton. the son'ln-law
Of the sick man, a trained nurse and
several friends and the wife remained
at the bedside all night.

by calling Mrs. Bowie to the stand

DAINTY DESIGNS IN COLLARS.
Almost Any Material and Shape Has
Popular Approval.

The linen collars and tabe are just
as nat as pressing can make them. In
tho first place the linen collar is plain
and shaped. There is a style which
hearkens back to the collar which was
rounded at the back, the sides and
followed slightly under the chin. This
is now the prevailing style. 1t may be
fitted with jabot Of the same, though
the fanlike arrangement is pressed
very fiat and has a decided tailor
effect. This does not mean that frills
are not used. for undoubtedly they
are, and in great numbers. Some Of
the prettiest fluffy collars of the sea-
son are dainty affairs of ethereal ma
terial, banded with pale ruching. A
pale tan silk ruching attached to ecru
lace is very handsome. It must be
fashioned to open in tho back, for the
tie In front must be arranged neatly
and sewed into place for all time.
Other linen collars are made with
small mercerized cotton dots worked
over the surface. When ironed with
q gloss they are very pretty to wear
with white or colored waists. One
collar made with white dots had each
miniature dot outlined with q narrow
black ring. The small black bow ut
The front gave dainty touch.

Arranged for the Children.

Whether the postal authorities had
the convenience of school children in
mind when putting up letter boxes
is a question. 1t looks as IL they had.
At any rate, most of the boxes in the
immediate vicinity Of schoolhouses
are placed nearer the ground than
those at other corners. But that
handy arrangement youngsters that
would be unable to reach the usual
run Of letter boxes without a liberal
dose of Alice's specific for growing
tall can, with the aid of their tiptoes
or possibly without it, mail letters as
easily as the grown-ups. Evidently
they appreciate the opportunity thus
afforded for observers who had had
time to make notes claim that two
thirds of the letters dropped into box
es at schoolhouse corners are put
there by very small children.
