CHAPTER OF FAT
ACCIDENTS
Others are In
Two Youns Men Die q
iured

X
Ernest Garfield, ADOPTED son and
nephew of Eli Shisler, of the Badax
community, died last Friday evening,
from the effect of kick from horse
received the day before. The horse that
delivered Mr.. Shisler his death blow, it
is understood, belonged to a neighbor,
and was only temporarily being driven
by the deceased at the time he was in
jured. The horse got It's hind feet
over the traces, and it was while Mr..
Shisler was in the act of correcting this
accident that the horse kicked him.
The injured man was conveyed to his
home and DIR. Stevens of this village
was summoned At first it was not
thought that the man was hurt seri-
ously, but during Friday he grew stead
lily worse and died. Deceased was
twenty-nine years of age, and leaves a
wife and four little children to mourn
his death. DE Soto Argus.
Lloyd Sandmire, the IA year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Sandmire not far
from Viola, was the victim of an ac-
cidental discharge of gun which re-
suited in his death. The gun, a %
special, was in the hands of John Wal
worth. The Sandmire boy had gone
into the woods with a party among
whom was Walworth, who became sep
arated from the rest of the crowd. He
loaded his rifle and in putting the ham
mer down the gun was discharged
Young Sandmire and companion were
on log some distance away, their pre-
sence there being unknown to Walworth
The bullet struck Sandmire il the left
arm and entered the body below the
heart, penetrating some distance.
Henry Lamprich has returned from
La Crosse where he had bullet re-
moved from his leg at the Lutheran
hospital. The bullet became placed
there by the accidental discharge of his
gun.
What proved to be miraculous es-
cape from being severely injured when
his shot gun exploded was only pre-
vented by the gun being good make.
This was, the experience of Charles
Shlicht. One barrel of the gun was
torn to splinters. -Chasehurg Core
spondent.
John M. Wilson and son Chester, of
La Fargo, Wisconsin, were unloading
their goods from car that had arrived
and Mr.. Wilson took up rifle and was
putting it in the wagon when the gun
was discharged, the bullet entering Mr..
Wilson's body about four inches below
the right arm pit, going entirely through
the body. 1t was found.that the bullet
had just touched the upper part of the
right lung and had grazed the ribs. As
the lung was not badly pierced by the
bullet it is thought that the wound will
not prove serious. He suffered great
deal of pain, and it was thought best
for him to be taken to the hospital at
Miles City where he would be in the
care of physician. Ismay, Montana,

Methodist

Rev. W. T. Best preached in his usual
pleasing manner a very helpful sermon
from the text found in Gen. 2S:12; Sand
he dreamed, and behold ladder set up
on the earth and the top of it reached to
heaven; and behold the angels of God
ascending and descending on it,
This ladder was the means of Jacobs
conversion. 1t was a revelation of Christ
himself, for there is none other whereby
we may be saved. The thought in the
lesson is Christ, the ladder. Throughout
all ages men have spent their time in
building ladders. There has always
been that feeling of depression and dis
satisfaction with themselves and their
circumstances and they have always been
trying to find a way out offtheir circum-
stances. All men want to reach the top
of the ladder in whatever walk of life.
The ladders that have been built by men
have all been too short to reach to heaven.
Mans extremity is Gods opportunity,
for God has provided ladder and that
ladder is Christ Jesus.
Many people would believe that this
ladder is alright enough, but is set up in
purgatory or on a death bed, but the
text says this ladder was set upon earth.
This ladder is long enough and strong
enough for the whole human family.
The first thing to do is to put your foot
on the first round. That is repenting,
but repentance alone cannot save a soul.
Next comes faith, but a man may repent
of his sins, he may have faith and yet
not be saved. Faith without works is
dead" Everything in the realm of Ma
ture is for purpose and must work.
The angels of God have work to do,
and they are ascending and descending
the ladder for the purpose of bearing
you up.
