 Hill 100 Feet.

Mrs. L. B. Shelton. who lives about two miles west of town was badly in- jured on the evening of July 4. while attempting to milk COW.

 Mir. Shelton was nearby and tried to beat the COW off with a fence rail. When he did stop her. Mrs. Shelton was unconscious. She was carried to the house and Dr. G. P. Dunman was sent for. He arrived soon and attend ed her. He found her suffering from many bruises. Tuesday she was improving rapidly and will recover.
 That the woman was not killed or more seriously injured is due to the fact that the points of the cows horns were turned in and did not touch her.

TERRIBLE FOURTH
 OF JULY ACCIDENT
James Fitzpatrick Was Helping Cele- brate With a Cannon and Was Dangerously Injured by Pre-
 mature Discharge.

James Fitzpatrick, round house machinist, was very seriously injured Monday evening about 7:30 by get ting in the way of cannon that he and Clyde Haynes were shooting to celebrate the Fourth. He was put on the morning train to be taken to the hospital at Kansas City so that his in- juries could be better taken care of. His mother, Mrs. T. H. Fitzpatrick, his brother, John Fitzpatrick, Conduc- tor Charles Murray. Mrs. Murryy and Miss May Miller accompanied him to Kansas City.
 Fitzpatrick had loaded the cannon and was lighting it when it was dis charged. The cannon is about six in ches long by five inches in diameter and has a bore that is about an inch and half in diameter. 1t is used by the machinists to shoot out bolts that become so tightly fastened in the en- zines that they cannot be removed with hammers. It was standing on end and Fitzpatrick was very nearly over it. The explosion blew him about eight feet away. tore great part of the flesh from his right arm be- tween the shoulder and elbow. made several other punctures in his arm, fractured his skull above the right eye, made bad cut on his left temple and so badly burned his face and eyes that he could not see. The cap on his head was torn to shreds.
 He was taken immediately after his injury to Dr. J. R. Davis, the Kansas City Southern division surgeon. who dressed his wounds and got him in shape for his trip to the hospital. His eyes wese so badly swollen that the doctor could not tell whether the sight had been destroyed or not. His con dition is very serious and should he live he would be very badly disflgured for life.

PAY FOR FIGHTING
 THE BOIL WEEYIL
A. E. Wear Wants Boys to Gather Squares That Are Stuug and Bring Them to Mena
 Saturday.

A. k. Wear, at the request of The Star, has written a letter about the boil weevil which contains valuable information, but which, coming at hand so late in the week, is too lengthy to handle in full.
 MT. Wear, however, explains in the following words, the plans he desires to carry out, which are cer- tainly along the right lines:
 In order to encourage this work 1 gave notice in last weeks papers that would pay premiums to the boys bringing in the largest number of squares each Saturday. The place to bring them to is w. w. Town sends store at Mena. The rules shall be that the collection of squares shall be in the name of some boy not over sixteen years old: that each boys collection shall have been gathered during the preceding week. that is from Saturday to Saturday. and that they shall have been gathered from his own crop, that IS the crop he is interested in, There must be no sound squares in in any collection. If so it will debar the owner from receiving premium, Any and all members of the family or any one they may employ may assist the boy in gathering his col lection.
 Now, boys, go to work at this just as soon as you find that the bugs are at work in your cotton, and bring every punctured square you can find. Don't fail to bring them be. cause you find only a few for less than dozen squares may win this first premium. Catch Mir. WeeviI if you can. put him in bottle and bring him. Every live weevil will count the same as ten squares. 1 will meet you at MT. Townsend's store at 1 o'clock Saturday, July 9. We will get someone to count the squares and Mir. Townsend will pay the boy who has the largest number $2.50, and the one having the next highest $l. The names of the boys who bring a collection of squares will ap pear the next week in both of the county papers.
 would be glad to have as many cotton growers as possible meet m, at the time and place mentioned. will have something interesting tt tell you about the boil weevil ant growing cotton under weevil condi tions. A. E. Wear.
