MRD. J.RAGAN SHOT

Mr.. Ragan and young Mr.. Can
non went out in a buggy to shoot
cartridges on the Heath place, 7
miles northeast Of Leesburg last
Saturday. AS Mr.. Raglan was re-
moving his gun from the buggy it
was accidently discharged and the
load passed through his right arm
lust above the elbow, almost entire-
ly severing it.
8 Mr.. Raglan as a result Of the shot
was thrown down, and his compan-
ion assisted him into the buggy and
hurried him to Leesburg, in the
meantime he had presence Of mind
enough to hold the sleeve as tightly
as his ebbing strength would per-
nit, this helped to staunch the flow
of blood to some extent, until he
reached home. Dr.Statham, a To-
cal physician, and Drs. Davis and
Hilsman, of Albany. were also call
ed in, and DR.. Davis, the first to
arrive, and DR.. Statham amputa-
ted the arm before DR.. Hilsman ar
rived.
Mr.. Raglan was greatly weakened !
by the loss of blood and the opera
ton, but at this date (Thursday) I
is recovering as rapidly as could be
expected.
There have Teen numerous ex-
pressions Of sympathy and regret
for Mr.. Raglan in his misfortune,
and his friends are many.
Mr.. Raglan is rapidly coming to
the front as one Of our promising
young attorneys, and, recognizing
his sterlinggood qualities, his friends
do not expect his mishap to lessen
his PROCESS towards the front rank
at the bar.
The Journal regrets exceedingly
this trying ordeal to its friend, but
expects him to rise above it all and
wishes him unbounded success.

From reports which are coming
to the Interior Journal Lincoln coun-
ty democrats are practically solid
for the nomination Of Beckham for
senator next year. Prominent men
Of the party who were never for him
before are strong for him this time.
Every democrat who loves fair play
is bound to admit that the party
owes him this nomination, and that
it is up TO the democracy to make
amends for the treachery in the
legislature which elected Bradley.
The !. j. wants to know how every
democrat in the county stands on
this matter. No democrat who be-
lieves in a square deal and fair play
to the party's nominees can afford
TO take any other position than that
the party must retrieve the dishonor
cast upon it when its nominee was
beaten by traitors in its ranks. 1t
won't do to trust any democrat with
office or honor who holds any other
position.
