beneath II. The other members OF
the crew, when the hook broke, fed
for safety, but soon returned and help
ed the injured man from his perilous

The ambulance from the King's
Daughters Hospital was summoned
and the injured man was taken 10 hls
home at F'rankenberrytown where his
injuries were treated by DIR. Myers,
AT that time the extent OF his iniur.

was no evidence OF internal injuries,
no bones we're broken and he had not
in any way received any cuts or sus'

His spine was badly wrenched, and
his back severely bruised but aside
from these injuries he was apparently
not otherwise injured. After his in
juries had been treated. he began to
rest easter as the pain was not so in

TO determine just how badly he had

II was very fortunate for Mr.. Daily
that he was not instantly killed. and

Harry Mason Meets Shocking Death
While Driving a Tedder
Near Town

While driving hay tedder Tues
day on the Faulkner, Bowers and
Clohan farm near the Big Spring,
south of town, Harry Mason, the 49,
year-old son of Mr.. Elijah Mason. re-
siding about three miles south of
town, met with shocking death. The
exact manner of his death, however,
will never be known as there were no
witness present when the boy was
killed
The farm is tenanted by Mr. J. w.
Roe and the Mason bay had been en-
ployed there since last April Mr.. Roe
was hauling in hay this morning and
the boy was driving the hay tedder
in the same field. All of a sudden
Mr.. Roe noticed the horse and ma
chine coming over the hill towards
the hay wagon, but the driver was not

hunt of the boy. They found him "
ing dead with his neck broken and
his skull fractured in two places.
Coroner w. r. Kline was notified OF
the accident and went out TO the
scene. After questioning the two men
named and eleciting substantially the
foregoing information, he decided
that the boy came to his death in All
accident while driving a hay tedder
and that an inquest was not neces-
sary
AS the mare he was driving was
very gentle and anybody could drive
her it is surmised that perhaps the

causing the animal to run off, and
that in crossing the rocky lodges in
the field the boy was jolted from his
seat and fell under the machine

RECKLESS SHOOTER
HELD FOR COURT
Bob Martin, Who Shot "5uz'' Irwin
On Potomac July 9Th VIII Have
10 face jury

49,
Robert Martin and Richard SHOW
two young men of Berkeley Station
had a hearing Tuesday evening be
fore Justice J. d. Smith on the charge
of reckless shooting on the 4th o.
July along the Potomac river, below
/ Falling Waters
The suit was brought by Mr. b. +
Bug irwin. this city. who. while taxi
ing a motor boat ride on the river
with a party OF friends, was shot in
the head by a person then Unknown
from the West Virginia bank some
$50 yards or more away. The bull
let p ealibre, passed through Mr.
Twins hat band and made cash
nearly three inches long on the side
of his head above the right ear. Had
the bullet struck Mr. Irwin fairly in
the head instead of at glance he
doubtless would have been killed
it was thought at the time that some
fellow had fired at the flag at the
stern of the boat, but missed il and
hit Irwin.
Some of Mr.. Twins friends on
shore gave chase to the supposed mis-
creant but he escaped through field.
He threw his gun, hard shooting
stevens rife. in the bushes when he
ran but it was afterwards recovered
Suspicion rested on Martin and a
few days ago Constable Wolf went
down to Berkeley and arrested him
together with Show, who was sup,
posed to be implicated in the shoot.
ing affair. After hearing the evidence
however, Justice Smith dismissed the
case aginst Show. with whose family
Martin makes his home Both fell
lows had been in Jail since their ar.
rest.
The trial was held in Justice Felix
er's office Some fourteen witnesses
testified, and the evidence showed
that Martin had fred many shots
from his rife on the Fourth of July
down along the Potomac, and that
the shooting was of a very reckless
character, although only one shot
seemed to have taken effect. When
Martin was asked how he happened
to shoot at the boat occupied by irwin
and party out on the river, he said
he didn't know, but supposed he did
il accidentally.
Justice Smith held Martin for the
grand jury at the September term o.
Court, fixing the bond at $500. Martin
was remanded to jail but furnished
bali this moring. As already stated
the case against Show, who was with
Martin at the river on the Fourth,
was dismissed.

and Sencindiver for the defence.
