when a shell became fastened in the gun.
Each took hand trying to get it out.
During the operation the gun went off
and the load so shattered the right ankle
of BERTHE Hickman that he had TO be
taken to the Salisbury Hospital for
treatment. Dr. Straughn accompanied
young Hickman to the hospital Satur-
day night and as soon as he arrived DIR.
Dick amputated Hickman's foot. Ac-

man misfortune, that colored boy fell

speaks for annexation he supplements the talk
with the proposition that we annex something

MiSSourian of the democratic party IN general.
Mr. Clark does not 90 into details as to ius'
how the annexation OF Canada will be accom-
pliShed Judging from the last Canadian eec,

being willing TO be annexed unwilling to en-

is some reason to suppose that Great Britain
would not be over-enthusastic about the PROPOSE
ton Of annexation Of Canada by the United
States.
Still Mr. Clark persists "Nine-tenths of the
people of this country favor the annexation Of
Canada and | do not care who hears me say
it." Evidently this is Mr. Clark platform
the annexation OF Canada whether or not Canada
approves and regardless of any objections that
might be offered by Great Britain. 1t is magnifi-
cent but Mr.. Clark might as we'll go IA little
farther.
The annexation of Canada seems such COM
par lively slight task, Judging from the airy way
in which Champ Clark discusses it. that he might
as well promise the annexation Of Great Britain
and Ireland If Great Britain could be induced
to see the annexation Of Canada in the right
light, there is no doubt that the empire itself
would be in condition to be annexed. With
the British empire under the wing OF the Ameri-
can eagle it might be well to rush the annexation
OF Germany in order to assure world peace The
next step would be to absorb the other powers
who would feel sighted if the, excluded
from the blessings of annexation by the United
States The annexation of the world is just as
plausible as the annexation Of the Dominion OF
Canada and it would look better in the demo
cratic platform Once the annexation ball is
started rolling, it might well continue IN its
course until there is nothing left to annex.
AS it is not customary to insist that party
platforms be made plausible, Champ Clark may as
well continue to advocate annexation, But why
stop at Canada? 1t makes fine slogan. ''Votc

Japan has rushed troops to Mukden the CAPT

aneSe government has any intention of support

the concessions Japan has eXtored at different
times from the Chinese government. Japan does

AWTHORNE MAN
LOSES HIS Arm
\. II. BARLOW ENTANGLED IN
MACHINERY FOR HOURS BE-
FORE HE is RESCUED.

A. II. Barlow, the Lucky Boy
mining man, who met with an ac-
lcident at that camp Wednesday and
was taken to Reno to the Sis
tiers hospital, where he suffered the
loss of his right arm by amputa-
ton, was reported last night as
resting comfortably with every
hope entertained for his recovery.
1t was learned yesterday that Mr.
Barlow was injured, not in mine
accident, but by being entangled
in machinery. He was working
about the machinery at one of the
Lucky Boy mining plants, when the
sleeve of his jumper became fasten-
| ed in the cog wheels His arm
was drawn into the cogs and was
frightfully mangled. Mr.. Barlow
suffered every agony imaginable
during that period and also dur
ing the hour that followed. He
was alone and his cries for aid were
unanswered until the mine foreman
! happened to visit the hoist. Mr..
| Barlow did not lose consciousness
during this time.
After his plight was discovered he
was forced to remain in the same
position for nearly an additional
hour until the miners could be sum-
mOned to his assistance and the ma
chinery taken apart that he could
be extracted. He was placed in
an automobile and rushed to Haw-
thOrne, where the injuries were
hurriedly dressed and the injured
man taken to Thorne and placed
aboard the train and brought to
Reno.
Mrs Barlow, wife Of the injured
man, arrived in Reno Thursday eve
ming and Mr.. Barlow's mother is
expected to arrive some time today
from Sonora, Cal.
