SPAIN INJURED
BY CARTRIDGE
BLANK ExPLODEs CLOSE To EYE
DURING "IMITATION BAR
ROOM FIGHT.

John Spain who won the title OF
champion broncho buster OF the world
at the 1912 Roundup, was painfully
injured in the initiation "barroom
battle in Happy Canyon last even
ing. The ke-believe fight was so
realistic that few realized the we'll
known buckaroo was really injured as
ne covered his left eye with his hands
and staggered for the gate.
The accident happened near the
conclusion OF the fight when Spain
was assisting the town constable"
and other officers to separate two OF
the beIIigerents One of these was
extremely careless in the use OF his
sixshooter with the result that q
blank cartridge was fired almost IL
rectly into Spain's eye at a distance
of three feet.
Blinded for the time being, Spain
staggered toward the gate but 1t was
several minutes before some of his
fellow wild westerners realized he was
injured and summoned a physician.
DR. Gdy Boyden took the injured man
to his office where the powder was
picked out and the wound dressed
Fortunately Spain closed his eye just
as the gun was fired or his sight
would have been destroyed. AS It was
his lid was burned nearly through.
Spain is one of the best known
buckaroos in the west. He has par
ticipated in every Roundup so far
and when II was ascertained that he
had been injured there was universal
regret among the thousands OF spec
tators. to nearly everyone Of whom
his name is familiar.

A youth was employed in a business
house a few years ago where the as
sistants had their meals supplied by
their employer, who deducted a GER
tain amount each week from their
wages to defray the cost of the food.
The assistants were not satisfied with
their meals and one day the house
keeper, highly incensed at the re-
marks passed by the youth and his
fellow-sufferers concerning the scar
city of food on the dinner table, re-
ported the matter to the principal.

was invited the next day to n free

reply. You heard wrongly. What
