got the money, a Korean who worked

HIS FATHERS ARM OFF WITH A SHOTGUN

One of the most tragic accidents
time was that of the injury and
subsequent death of II. II. Elwood
Monday. Mr.. Elwood, accompanied
by his son Dewey and brother, had
gone into the hills for wood. Short
ly after noon, while hitching up the
team to return, a gun in the hands
of the son was accidentally dis
charged, blowing Mr.. Elwood's right
arm off just below the elbow.
The accident occurred on Rock
Creek, and it was sometime before a
doctor could be summoned. The in
jured man was taken to the hospital
about five o'clock, where the arm
was removed. TRANSMISSION of blood
from a brother of the deceased was
resorted to in an effort to save him.
but the loss of blood had already
been so great that he could not be
rallied and passed away about $50
