{ Early this morning DR.. Chase re-
|ceived a message to go to Chitina
Ito attend DR.. Hamilton, who had
been shot through the foot. 1t ap-
bears that last evening the DR.. and
"a Ran named Johnson were out
hunting few miles from Chitina
when the accidental discharge OF
Johnson's gun sent bullet through
the Dr.'s foot. He was taken to town
and in the absence of Dr. Smith the
wound was we'll attended to by DR..
Hale and A. G. Morey. 1t was
thought best to have regular
physician treat the wound so that
no complications would set in and
DR.. Chase was wired for. AS he has
several patients who are in serious
condition, and as DR.. Council is
away from town, he wired back that
it was impossible to go out on the
morning train and suggested that
the patient be sent here to the hos
pital. This may be done on the re-
turn train, unless DR.. Smith, who is
on hunting trip, returns to Chitlna
ina day or two.
