Tony Farrell Aecident1y Sho+.

In a Dalhart shooting scrape
Tony Farrell as an innocent by
stander is slightly wounded.
Last week Tony Farrell went to
Dalhart to take his graduation ex-
animation in telegraphy and was
passing the skating rink about 10
p. m. when couple of citizens got
in an argument and commenced en-
phasizing their remarks with guns.
Tony at once made a run to get out
of range, but just as he stepped into
a doorway was hitin the heel by a
stray shot. The ball was 3S cali
Der, and passed through the Aeshy
part of the heel, not breaking any
bones, and while not dangerous is
painful. Tony came home on the
first train and is doing as well as
could be expected. We are sorry to
say that only one of the shooters
was sufficiently shot up so that he is
not expected to recover.

getting an opportunity to destroy
property. One lob" they confessed
was at Argenta, Ark. where they
said they placed a chisel and cap
sules filled whit steel chips and
emery dust in two of the great
lathes used for turning out locomo-
tives and car wheels. Each machine
was valued at $4,000. They would
have been ruined, they said, had

the presence of his son, Surguis was
made known to him.
