Look at this, grandma" and
even as these words reached the
ears OF Mrs. Anna b. Hupman, she
fell seriously wounded as the result
OF a bullet discharged from a re-
volver held in the hand of her nine
year old grandson, who was calling
her attention to the weapon. Mrs.
Hupman was brought to the Kings
Daughters hospital yesterday in
a critical condition.
The affair which was purely ac-
cldental, occurred on Thursday at
the home of Mrs. Hupman, at Pat
ma, Highland county. The child
had been staying at the house and
was in the room with his grand
mother waiting for dinner to be
served.
Rummaging through the bureau
drawers he came across the revolt
yer, and attracted by its glittering
appearance, childlike, removed it,
that he might show it to his grand
mother. The revolver was one
kept at the house, and but one
chamber was loaded.
Standing with her back to the
boy and half turning her head as
he called her attention to she knew
not what, the trigger was accident
ally touched, the weapon was dis
charged and the ball entered Mrs.
Hupman's side.
The child's screams brought
members of the household and Mrs.
Hupman was cared for as tenderly
as possible.
1t soon became apparent, however,
that an operation would be neces-
sary to save her life, so she was
brought to Staunton to the hospital
yesterday suffering intensely, as
the result of her injury, combined
with the fatigue brought about by
the long journey by wagon. She
was accompanied by her husband
and daughter, and DR.. w. R. Siron
of Mcdowell. Mrs. w. P. Schmid
of this city is a daughter of Mrs.
The facts as given above by the
Staunton Daily News are substant-
tally correct, the unfortunate ac-
cident having occurred about the
hour at which our last issue went
to press.
Mrs. Hupman is the wife OF
Mr.. Harvey Hupman and a
prominent family of eastern High
land. She is lady of about 80
years of age.
The operation performed at the
X. D. hospital was successful one
and it is hoped Mrs. Hupman will
recover, her condition at this time
being favorable. The ball is said
to have passed through one kidney
and lodged in the other, making a
wound necessarily very serious.
The little grandson, who inno-
Gently caused the trouble, and
whose name is Beathe, is said to
be about s years old.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

important real estate transfers III
Monterey sales and purchases
which mean as much to the town
as to the parties directly interest
ed.
A plan involving the sale of the
Masonic Hall and the purchase of
site on Main street was consumnat'
ed by a cnmmittee appointed by
the fraternity, and Mr.. E. B
Whitelaw became the purchaser OF
the Hall and the grounds surround
| ing it. A location for a new home
was secured by the Masons on the
corner Immediately west of the
First National Bank building, the
space being about 42x50 feet. In
the deal, the rear of this lot, on
which the hotel stable now stands,
was purchased by Mr.. H. P. Pat
terson, whose purpose it is to build
a modern hotel on the cornerf urth-
er West and in front of Suddarth s
Art Studio.
Thus it is that Monterey gets the
guarantee of two more handsome
public buildings for next season.
The Masonic brethren have not
as yet decided upon any plan OF
building, but the lodge is now
experiencing growth and prosper
ity which is very gratifying, and,
when we recall the fact that such
organizations have the wisdom to
build for the future, we may be as
sured that Highland Lodge will put
forth its best effort.
That every public-spirited citi-
zen of the town and county should
feel personal interest in this en-
terprise goes without saying. In
fact, individual members of the Or
ganization have already been as
sured, not only of approval and in
terest, but of substantial encour-
agement from friends of the frater-
nifty, business men end citizens
generally. Such an enterprise
means more than a meeting place
for the Masons. To secure tenn
pie, commensurate with the needs
of the fraternity, and in keeping
with present and future surround
ings, will no doubt DO the aim and
purpose, and there should be the
full measure of encouragement.
AS to the hotel enterprise, While
of a somewhat different character,
it, too, means much to the town.
Mr.. Patterson has made reputa-
ton as hotel man, and his decis-
ion to erect a modern and up-to'
date building means that he is per-
manently located. and will put him
in position to do more for Monte
rey, helping to entertain the visit
ing and travelling public.
Each succeeding year brands as
false the statement that Monterey
lis finished town. Perhaps no off,
the-railroad village in Virginia en-.
Joys a more uniform, healthy
growth, and the fact that all build.

some, modern and attractive
should be a source of pride to all
our citizens, and, should a rea
"boom" come our way a season
of development, with Transports
ton facilities, as some dare to look
for-we will have established
creditable and substantial nucleus.

by Moonlight, viii Remain on
Show for Two Weeks

z"The Shadow of the Cross" the long
on exhibition yesterday at the Y. M. C.
A. to be continued on view daily for
two weeks.
AS an unusual painting this canvas
has been exhibited to about 100000
persons. being shown in the interest of
charity only. The painting is the prop
erty of DR.. Wright of Washington, d.
c., it's chief attraction being it's unusual
power of emitting pale moonlight
effect from the background which,
when seen by the usual light, is
painted in deep blush tones. Those,
when, the lights are turned off, seem
to vibrate with white. phosphorescent
light, which throws the figure of the
Christ into shadow, with a cross seen
behind the figure, which has given the
title to the painting.
w. F. Thomas of Cincinnati is man.
ager of the exhibitions of the painting
and has a guard constantly with the
painting, it not being left alone either
night or day. Aside from this precau-
tion, the painting is insured for large
sum against fire or burglary.
The local exhibition is being given
under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A.
the proceeds to be used for the Shang-
hai fund of the association to keep uI
the work of the organization in China
The painting is ON it's way to be ex-
hibited at the Seattle exposition.
Henry Hammond Ali is the artist
who painted the picture and to whom
it is said the strange phenomena was
unexplainable. The painting never has
been completed, as the artist discovered
it's strange properties and refused to
finish 1t.
