While out fishing with a party
of friends on st. Francis river, near
Piedmont, Louis j. Schach was
last Wednesday morning shot
through the right leg. 1t was an
accident and happened while an
other member of the party was
taking some shells out of a twen-
ty-two rifle. Fortunately only a
flesh wound resulted, the ball
passing through the leg without
touching a bone. Mr.. Schach was
taken to Piedmont for treatment
and next day brought home. He
will be all right in a few days. He
can consider himself very for
tunate, we think.

A petition was filed with the
county court this week asking that
body to order an election to de-
termine whether liquor shall be
sold in Madison county. The Pc
tition contains something over 300
names of people of Madison coun-
ty outside of Frederioktown. An
attorney from Pennington fled
the petition and the court set
Thursday as the day for hearing
the petition. Should the court
grant the petition and order an
election it means that the county
will be put to a needless expense
OF $500 to $1,000 for holding the
election and it is just as sure to be
defeated as two and two make
four. -FredericEtoWn Democrat News.
