MT. PLEASANT MEMS HUNTING
TRIP ENDS pIsAsTRousLY-
ONE AcclpENrLY SHOT.

Mt. Pleasant, Oct. 30.--Mt. Pleasant
was the scene Of very unfortunate
hunting accident Wednesday after
noon. John Lynch, a prominent bust
ness man If this city, was accidently
shot in the back and shoulder and
seriously wounded, by his companion,
Earl Hoaglin. a. a.-4,
The two hunters left town about
noon in the direction of Big creek.
When they arrived at the Geeseka
farm they started to cut across fields
in the direction Of the creek, where
they hoped to find some good duck
shooting. Mr.. Lynch was a little in
front and to one side OF Mr.. Hoaglin.
A rabbit jumped up between the two
men. and In attempting to shoot the
animal the charge in some manner was
directed against Mr.. Lynch. Owing to
the position of the two men the full
force OF the charge did not strike him.
The accident occurred about 3
o'clock and in less than half hour
the wounded man was brought to this
city and medical attention summoned
at once Owing to the weakness from
the loss of blood the surgeons were
unable to administer an anesthet1c.
After probing for two hours over twen-
" shot were removed from the wound,
and it was discovered that no vital
organs had been touched. Unless I'M
forseen complications set in the doc
tors entertain every hope for his ulti-
mate recovery.
At a late hour Mr.. Lynch was re-
ported to be resting much easier.
Both Mr.. Lynch and Mr.. Hoaglin are
we'll known in this city. MIR. Lynch
formerly lived on farm north OF
town, but moved here few years ago
and became the proprietor Of the south
side pool hall. Mr.. Hoaglin Is en-
r'oyed in the Hoaglin. Dry Goods Co.

that the Inn bought eggs from the
farmers 50 far as possible, but when
the supply from this source was insult

COST FARMER $3.50
TO COME BACK HOME

Perry, Oct. 30.-It cost Charles West,
q Dallas county farmer, $1,000 to be
away from Iowa for about three
months, and he is glad to get back
even at that price.
Last spring West sold his eighty
acre farm southeast of Perry for $168
an acre, which he considered good
price. He had visions Of the fortune he
would make in cheaper land and
bought q farm In Missouri The short
time he spent there convinced him
that there was only one place in the
world to live and he came back, hunted
up the real estate agents that sold his
old place and offered to buy 1t back.
The fact that 1t had advanced in
price $32 an acre did not stop him, and
he paid the $500 per acre asked.
