INDIAN BOYHUNTERHUR7
BYACC|DENTAlGUN SHOT

Louis Mcqueen, an Indian boy, IL
years old, and quite we'll known in
Ely, where he attends school, was
badly injured while hunting rabbits
yesterday morning, by the accidental
discharge of a gun. Louis and an
other Indian boy, both on horseback
had made an early start for Steptoe
valley, and were about three miles
from Ely when the accident happen
ed. AS told by Louis, he had dis
mounted, and being unable to get
upon the horse with the gun in his
hands, he had placed it on the ground
in such position that he could reach
it from his horse. He is positive that
the gun was not cooked, but never
theless, as he seized it by the barrel
and drew it towards him, there was
an explosion, and the bullet tore
along his right forearm, inflicting an
ugly wound from the wrist TO the ell
bow.
The boys started at once for Ely.
and stopped at the home Of Alex,
Baird, where Louis told OF what had
happened Mr.. Baird on seeing the
condition OF the boys arm, gave such
treatment as was possible.
and then took the lad to the county
hospital. DR.. Alexander dressed tn,
injury, finding his little patient a
plucky one during the examination
and treatment of the wound. which
had ripped the arm in wicked fash
ion, but fortunately had not severed
any of the large arteries nor touched
the bone. 1t is probable that some
skin grating will be necessary to
cover the wound. which is of unusual
area.
Louis is of the opinion that the gun
was discharged from the hammer
catching on the sagebrush as he
drew the weapon from the ground.
Unless blood poison develops. it is
expected the wound will heal read
lily. and as none OF the tendons were
cut, the use of the hand and arm
will not be in any way affected.

So far as known, all the Elyites
who went to Tonopah, last week, to
attend the meeting of the Tonopah
Elks lodge, and become members of

Some of the pilgrims met with more
or less delay, and had experiences
not down on the program, while the
general appearance of all hands on
arrival-barring of course, the la
dies. and those who took their
wives with them-was ample proof
that strenuosity but weakly express
ed the order OF things from the time
the members of the expedition left
home until their arrival. Tonopah
seems to have gone the limit in pro-
yiding entertainment and amusement,
and the visitors from Ely have not yet
fully recovered from all that was
done for them and to them. The fol-
lowing Is the Tonopah end of the
story by the Tonopah Bonanza:
"A street carnival, three-ring
circus and tango tournament all
rolled into one would not do justice
to the entertainment set out by
Tonopah lodge of Elks for the bene-
fit OF their visitors from Ely, Gold
field. Manhattan and Millers. The
boys knew they we're bound to have
the time of their lives when they
came as guests of the silver camp,
and every man who could steal away
from business cares registered at the
local clubrooms Saturday night. Be-
tween 500 and $50 were present at
the ceremonies and the attendance
was far In excess of the fondest ex-
pectations of the hosts. Neverthe-
less. the program was carried
through without a hitch and every
candidate was glad that he was in 1t.
Those who were elected to the Alum
club. the side degree, had more than
the average share of fun. but they
were not In a resentful mood, and
took the raillery OF their associates
with a very good grace.
''Of the latter 1t Is well to mention
the incident connected with the visit
of Mr.. ]. M. Slopansky Of Ely, who
was ruthlessly arrested In the height
of the high jinks and thrust into jail
until he found bondsmen willing to

that IL meant serious consequences
for all concerned. Mr.. Slopanskey
came well heeled for the two days
doing in Tonopah and had to ask for
change from brother member of

bank. They looked enough like the
