he was taken to Ogden and placed
under The care Of specialists, but
the lest medical skill failed TO
check the ravages of disease and
ne passed quietly away.
Ray Lovcridge was in the very
prime Of life being only 80 years
Of age, and that his life Of useful
ness should be cut off at this time is
indeed very sad. He leaves wffe

AWFUL ACCIDENT BEFALLS
A YOUTH AT PALISADE

With ms rIgnt arm literally tern
to shreds by shot, yet forced to walk
nearly two miles before he could get
to house where help might he had.
Calvin Johnson, aged 4. years, the
son of j. G. Johnson, II well known
carpenter of Palisade, was the victim
of frightful ending to II hunting
trip in the hills about five miles south
of Palisade.
Young johnson and three other
boys were hunting. johnson had
stopped 10 rest and the butt of his
gun was resting in an opening to IL
prairie dog hole. Suddenly the gun
discharged and the entire load took
effect in the boys arm. IL is thought
that dog rubbed against the gun
and caused il To he discharged. Suf-
fering horribly johnson accompanied
by the other boys, started for the
home of VIII Mulvaney. nearly two
miles away. Finally the home was
reached and physician was sum-
moned from Palisadc. This was about
> O'Clock The physician arrived as
soon as il was possible for him to get
out from Palisade.
II was found necessary to amputate
the mangled arm and this was done
late in the evening. the arm being
taken off near the shoulder.
johnson is getting along as well
as could be expected and Will re-
cover.
