Notes From Woodruff
WILLIAM LEE IR

Kenneth Dewitt, fifteen years of age, son of A. A. Dewitt, for merly of Springerville, Ariz., but now resident of Fort Thomas, Ariz., was returning home from a visit to his grandmother, Mrs. M. M. Dewitt, and friends, when at a point IT miles south of Woodruff, near Hay Hollow, he got out of the wagon to shoot a rabbit, and 1t placing the gun back into the scabbard, it was accidently discharged, shooting him through the hand just below the wrist. His sister Maggie and cousin Mary Russell were with him at the time and hurried to camp a short distance away, where they found MT. Tom Houck and MT. Lopez, who took the wounded boy to Woodruff, where Dr. Brown, of Holbrook, was summoned, and the injured hand was amputated. Had as- slstance not been promptly ren- dertd by the above gentlemen he would no doubt have bled to death,
 
 Born, to Mir. and Mrs. Q. R. Gardner, a girl. Mother and babe are doing nicely. MT. Gar diner has been suffering lately with rheumatism.
 MT. John Dewitt and family have returned from Holbrook, where Mir. Dewitt has been en- gagged in burning brick.
 Word was received here this morning of the death of Samuel D. Rogers, of Snowflake. The funeral will be held Thursday from the church in Snowflake.

 The Gilsey boy was snifing when he came in, to convey to us that he was still in almost intolerable pain. and he was hardly able to speak as he held out the handful of shot for our inspection.
 How many are there?" asked Cot tingfirst. -t
 "For-or-or-orty-one,' said the boy
 "Forty-one," calculated. And then I looked at the shot. I took them, and shook them over in the palm of my Aand.
 Where do you get your cartridges. 'ottingfrst?" I asked. You really ought to speak to them about their oading" For there was every size of shot, from No. to No. 8.
 Where did you get all these?" I asked
 From Indifferent parts, please sir" said the Gilsey boy. Out O my face an arm mostly Even fiat s.a'-fi :c I asked, holding up a rusty battered thing which was at least BB, which I had not noticed at first
 Yes, p-p-please, sir. said the Gil sey boy. There's more'n h-h-hun- dred marks on me"
 q can well believe it. Let's see some of them"
 He took off his coat and rolled up his sleeve, The other boys had made thorough job of it.
 q said that we knew shot-marks,' murmured, but I begin to doubt it."
 Cotiingfirst and l tried to persuade him to tell us how it was done, but he persisted that nothing hadn't been done, and we had to let it go at that We learned some time later that the other boys had hammered nails into him until they broke the skin. At the time we gave him a sovereign and called it. square.
 We also heard later that single pellets of No 61a shot had command ed no less price than sixpence each in the village on the preceding eve ming, and anything that was near enough to justify a hope that it would pass muster was good for twopence.
 Whenever l go out with my gun now, am afraid I shall find the neigh boring trees and hedges full of boys.
 As for the match, we had to call that off We recovered 2S' birds, Of which I declare I got B, and Cot tingfirst is sure he killed Is, but l ell him he counts the Gilsey boy as me.

TOT insomnia.

For insomnia try this simple rem edy; Have barber chair rigged up in your room. Then, when unable to go to sleep by 1:3O a. m., send your motor car for your favorite barber. When he comes, have him give you a thorough shampoo. If not sleepy then, repeat, and continue treatment until put to sleep. If the treatment fails to do this in five hours, just take look at the bill.

 He had been staying at the Pen nington's, five miles off. for a week s shooting. and thither on one or twt occasions l had gone over and made one of the guns. l suggested that when his week was up. if he was not too proud after the gorgeous Penning- ton coverts, he should come over to me for day or two at wood-pigeons And, of course, he came. though I did not imagine that either I or the wood rigeons were the attraction
 One afternoon we agreed to have a match for the large stake of half a crown. The ladies came with us. and, Lucy sitting with Cottingfirst an1 Eupaemia by me, well screened rom the sight of the birds, We had gr sport. Suddenly, follow;n inmed; ately on shot of Cottin gfrst's there came a scream-and another-- and then a series of the most blood @urdling shrieks that I have ever !eard.
 ] saw Cottingf1rst plunge into the wood at a point some 40 yards this while Lucy stood on the field side O he ditch looking up into the trees whence we could now tell that the screams were proceeding; and wher we joined her, there in the topmos: branches of an oak was a boy,
 He was in his shi"t-sla ves hangine below a branch by his hands and feet like the pictures of the giant slO;h screaming continuously. Cottingfirst under the tree, shouted at him alter nately to come down or to say how badly he was hurt But how in the world such an inappropriate thing as boy had got up there we could nOi imagine
 1t appeared subsequently that he had been trespassing in the woods when we arrived. and. hearing us shooting, had climbed into the tree to get a better view of the sport with out himself being seen, as he must rave been if he had come out through the hedge into the ditch on our side
 We soon had him out on the gras in the open, and examination showed that he had been reasonably well ! eppered. His eyes had escaped, bu! there were three or four shots in his cheek, and the marks of a good many more about his head, while at least a dozen pellets had found his left arm. where the blood was soaking recovered for him from the foot of the tree, where he had put it before start ing to climb, as is the way of village boys, to prevent it getting torn. For Uunately, so far as we could see, none of the shot had done more than lodge under the skin The boy was un doubtedly hurt, but he was not, as he supposed, killed.
 Why" said Euphemia, as soon as she saw him, it is the little Gilsey boy"
 I did not know that Mrs. Gilsey, who did our washing, had boy; but Euphemia is the friend of every child in the village And I was glad it was the Gilsey boy. Not that l wished him any harm, or had anything but admiration for his mother; but there

 In this arid atmosphere the boys grief abated considerably.
 "I don't think" said Cottingfrst. that he's really seriously hurt

 Not seriously hurt" Cottingfrst continued, but I'll send the doctor round at once to find out. Meanwhile of course, I want to make what amends I can for my clumsiness l want you to feel, Mrs. Gilsey, that I've done what is right; but it is hard to say what the right is. The more he is hurt the more I feel I ought to do. and" and he tapered off as not knowing how to proceed. Then an idea occurred to me.
 Why not pay him so much a shot?" I suggeSted. There YVES a look of in quiry on the faces about me. so I ex plained. Give him a s'E'ling for every shot that has gone into him, ana siXpence for every mark. The more he is hurt the more you will pay That seems to make the punishment fit the crime. It ought to work out 10 something like a sovereign I should think
