carrying of 1t are points of cour-

Lad SHOOTS YOUTH
WHILE They PLAY
Claude Amos is Seriously Wound
ed When Shotgun Accidentally
is Discharged.

Claude Amos, the 9-year-oldI son of
Robert Amos, well-known man of
Allenville, was shot and seriously
wounded yesterday afternoon by Adam
SHREDDER, nine years cid, a playmate.
The boys were at the home of Will
son SHREDDER, father of Adam, and the
host thought he would please his guest
by exhibiting to him his fathers shot
gun.
Adam took the weapon down from
the rack and they were inspecting it
together, when it was accidentally dis
charged, the load of shot entered
Claude Amos right leg just above the
knee.
Adam Stroder was as badly fright
ened as the Amos lad, and their
screams quickly brought assistance.
DR.. f. E. Higion was hastily summon
ed, and after administering temporary
treatment, the wounded boy was re-
moved to the physicians office.
The shot were removed and the
wounded limb was dressed. Dr. Hig-
don first stated that he believed ampu-
tation would be necessary, but he in
formed The Tribune late last night
that he believed it could be avoided,
unless complications developed
The two boys are neighbors and
they played together almost daily.
They are noted for affection they hold
for each other, and little Adam was
pathetically affected by the injury he
inflicted to his little comrade.

RUNAWAY MAY Be
FATAL TOLABORER
Edward Shambnrg is Hurled from
Wagon and Dragged by
Animals.

A wagonfoaded with supplies be-
longing to the Billie Wood grading
camp, located short distance south
Of this city, broke down on Toll Gate
Hill, at about IL o'clock last night,
frightening the team and causing a
serious runaway.
Several laborers were in the wagon,
and when one of the wheels came off,
the passengers were thrown out, a
number of them receiving serious in
juries.
Edward Shamburg of Wittenburg
was the most seriously hurt, and at
this time, it is feared that his injuries
may prove fatal. When he was thrown
out he was caught in such a manner
that he was dragged in front of the
axle for some distance.
When the team was finally brought
to stop at the foot of the long hill,
and Shamburg was released from his
dangerous position, he was covered
with cuts and bruises, and it is feared
that his right arm and legs are broken.
1t is feared that he received serious
internal injuries also.
The injured man was taken into the
old toll gate house, on the Rock Levee
road, and physician was summoned.
His parents, who live at Wittenburg
were communicated with by telephone,
and advised of the serious accident.
The father is one of the most prom
inent residents in Perry County, and
has for years been in the mail service
at Wittenberg. The parents will come
to attend their son on the noon train
today.
