that don't get his money back for
him, and we can only warn you to
profit by his experience. If your
glasses are not satisfactory when
fitted by us you know the way back,

ACCIDENT
MONDAY.
AGED WOMAN
is WOUNDED.
GUN FALLS AND DISCHARGES
Foil Load of Shot Into Her Breast
and Side, but Still Lives
and May Recover.
Gun FALLS AND DISCHARGES

Monday afternoon while Mrs. Green,
who resides with her husband on the
Colson property near the old fair
ground, was securing the floor of her
kitchen she had occasion TO move a
shot gun from one corner to another
and in doing so placed it at such an
angle that it slipped to the floor and
the hammer striking was discharged,
with the result that she received the
entire charge in the left breast, side
and hip. She was in STOPPING posi-
ton and the shot did not penetrate to
the internal organs, but lacerated the
flesh from the breast to the hip in a
frightful manner.
She is sixty-fve years of age, and al
though medical aid was quickly sum-
moned and the wound dressed, her
friends fear she may not recover.
