ANTE.FoURTH ACCIDENTS.
Lynch Boy Shoots His Little Brother
in the Arm.

Lynch Journal: Marvin Hoffman was
shot Wednesday at noon by his brother
Lloyd with blank cartridge toy pistol
in which he was using % short car
tridges. The ball entered the fleshy
part of the little fellows right arm
and lodged near the skin. DR.. Ira re-
moved the ball and dressed the wound
Everyone is pleased that the wound
Is not more severe and the accident
will surely be a warning to not only
the boys interested in the accident
but to all the boys of the town. Fourth
of July with it's accompanying noise
is all right but we believe that state
and national legislation should put a
limit on the extent to which manufac-
turers should go in the making of
these dangerous weapons for the
young of America to experiment and
eXterminate with.

Pessimistic.

Beatrice Express: The people of
Knox county suspect that rivers of
oil are flowing and raging under the
surface, and one company has bought
a large tract of land on which to dig
wells. Some geologist has probably
told them, after a learned investiga-
ton, that indications point to a wealth
of oil underneath. Biologists have
made similar discoveries in every
county in the state, and still no oil
has been found to help out agricul-
ture in the production of wealth. We
doubt if the state will ever see any
that hasn't been shipped in.
