Thomas Rogers was seriously
wounded and another hunter slightly
hurt by the accidental discharge of
the formers double-harrel shotgun
during a deer hunt at Acy last Satur-
day. Rogers was taken to New Or
leans Saturday night and sent to the
Charity Hospital, where his condi-
ton was said to be serious. His left

wounds of the abdomen, and his left
cheek is badly torn by buckshot with
which the weapon was loaded. His
companion, whose name could not be
learned, was slightly wounded in the
arm by the spreading shot.
Rogers brace of dogs scented a
deer at 8 o'clock Saturday morning
and started in pursuit, Rogers and
his companion endeavored to follow
the trail, and started after the dogs,
leaping over brambles and trunks of
fallen trees. Rogers tripped over a
net work of underbrush and fell, the
butt of his gun striking a tree, caus-
ing it to be discharged.
His companion ran to a nearby set
tlement and secured assistance.
Rogers was taken to Sorrento, three
miles from Acy, in wagon. There
DR.. E. S. Keyes bandaged his wounds.
