Shot While
OUT HUNTING
Prominent Mansfield Man Is
Severely Injured
CAUSED BY STUMBLE
Gun Discharges, Contents Emptying
Into Mans Left AnkIe-Bones
Shattered, But Amputation
Not Necessary

Harry V. Linderman of 74S Bow
man street, well-known and popular
manufacturing engineer at the Ohio
Brass company was accidentally shot
and very seriously injured while hunt
ing rabbits near the home of G. d.
Wolfe of Olivesburg yesterday after
noon shortly after O'Clock, says the
Sunday Mansfield Shield.
In company with Frank Klohs,
foreman at the Ohio Brass company,
Mr. Linderman left yesterday for a
hunting trip to Olivesburg. During
their search for bunnies Mr.. Klohs
and Mr. Linderman became separated
and after hunting for several hours
and securing only one rabbit, Mr..
Linderman went to the Wolf home.
Mr.. Wolf and his son, Roe, were
at home and they volunteered to ac-
company Mr.. Linderman to the corn
field, where it was thought they
would be able to shoot several rab'
bits. Mr.. Linderman threw his gun
over his shoulder and he and Roe
Wolf walked ahead while G. d. Wolf
followed q number of feet behind
Mr.. Linderman turned his head to
talk to G. D. Wolf and, not noticing
an obstruction in his path, stumbled
and fell. In falling the gun was dis
charged and the bullets lodged in his
left ankle. He exclaimed that lie was
shot and G. ID. Wolfe rushed to his
side and gave him what assistance he
could, while Roe Wolf buried to the
village blacksmith shop and sum
moned aid.
Drs. Mcclellan and Emery of Ash
land and DR.. John L. Stevens of this
city were called. These three ply
sicans rendered first aid and the in.
jured man was then placed in DR.
Stevens automobile and brought to
the Emergency hospital in this city
Dr. Frank Mccullough was called
to assist DR.. Stevens in caring for
the injured man. An examination
showed that the bones in the ankle
were badly shattered but the physic
ians feel that it will not be necessary
to anputate the foot. The injury vii

TO Use one ARM
WITH PRACTICE A MAN WHO HAS
LOST ONE MEMBER CAN DO
ALMOST ALL THINGS HIMSELF
New York World)

He who loses ar arm labors hence
forth under worse handicap than he
who loses leg. For an artificial leg
can replace the real limb fairly we'll,
but an artificial hand can perform only
a few of the functions of the real hand.
But a one-armed man can educate his
remaining member to degree of dex-
terity that is scarcely tellevable. Count
Zichy, who lost his right arm when
boy of IA, and Is now 65 years old, has
just published in Budapest an illustrat-
ed book of the one-armed. The distin-
guished Viennese surgeon Freiherr
Won Eisesberg says in his introduction
to this book;

SICK, WRITES
PRIZE STORY
Master Charles Fink I'm

tai ENT UNCOVERED
Lone Scout Magazine Awards First
Honors To Lad Convalescing In
This City-Father Has A
Pleasant Surprise

1t is with the exception that sick
ness proves a positive boon to the
one afflicted, but such is the case
with Master Charles b. Fink of
Thornburg, Pa, staying at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Willard G. Arm
strong, who has uncovered a rare and
unusual story-writing ability during
the hours he has lain in bed.
Master Charles has received word
that one of his latest stories, "The
Skunk That Imprisoned Himself" had
been awarded first prize-a gold med
al-in the story-writing contest con-
Quoted by the Lone Scout magazine
of Chicago, Ill.
The youthful writer came to this
city early last summer for a visit
with his grandfather, Charles A.
Bope of East Gambler street. Short.
ly after his arrival, it was discovered
that he had slight leakage of the
heart and he was ordered to bed. All
through the summer, he lay as an in
valid and. during this time, conceived
the idea of writing stories.
He drew from his own experience
in the piecing together of these tales.
He has done an unusual amount OF
trapping for one Of his years and his
experiences have been out of tho
trodden path OF things. Naturally
his first instinct was to produce bit
of prose dealing with this particular
sport He entered the result in the
contest of the Lone Scout magazine
and was more than gratified when he
found he had won first prize.
His father, Allen Fink, former city
editor of The Banner, knew nothing
of the boys ability to write and ac-
cordingly had never encouraged him
along this line. Not long ago, he re,
ceived story, "The DISCONTINUED
Fullback," in his sons handwriting,
with the request that it be typewrit-
ten. It did not occur to him that the
tale was the work of Master Charles,
he thinking that it was some story
which his son had copied to while
away time His surprise was great
when he found the story original.
Since the publication of the prize
winning story, Master Charles has re
ceived a letter from a boy in Florida,
asking for further stories along the
same line and stating that he. the
boy OF the south, has at various times
attempted to win prizes, but has been
unsuccessful.
The future efforts of Master
Charles will be watched with inter
est by many people in Mt. Vernon
who are acquainted with his famiiy
and him.

the following to say of Nephi l.. Nor
ris:
Nephi Lowell Morris native born
and bred, personitles the highest
type of Utah citizenship. He believes
In Utah; he Is true to her traditions
and he has devoted his life work to
the development Of her resources and
the uplift Of her people. He is essen
TALLY a man Of many partisan or.
ganizer Of industry, a student OF
statecraft, a champion Of public NOR
ais, an advocate Of the highest and
best In our modern civilization; and
he practices what he breaches. by
virtue of his high personal honor, his
integrity, his intense public spirited
ness, and his devotion to duty as he
finds things to do, he is respected and
loved by all who know him.
Mr.. Morris was born in Salt Laks
City in 1870. His father, Elias Nor
ris, and his mother, Mary Lois Walk
err, both of British birth, were Utal
pioneers In 1853. During his boy
hood he attended the public schools
OF the day and in vacation time as
sisted his father In his business en-
terprises. While still boy he made
bricks, tended masons, and used thu
I trowel as an apprentice brick layer
He also learned the miller's trade ant
was for several years associated II
the operation Of -four mill. BY thu
time he attained young manhood. HI
; had not only mastered several trade
but had also pursued his studies a
the B. Y. Academy at Provo. the Sal
Lake Stake Academy, and the Uni
versity OF Utah.
In 1891, Mr.. Morris was called oil
mission with fifty other young mel
and for several months he travele'
In northern Utah and southern Idah'
engaging In the church work whicl
afterwards became known as the Re
uaissance Of Mutual Improvement

The first year he labored In the cit!

year he was named a member Of the
general board of the Y. NJ. NJ. I. 4.
in which capacity he labored for a
number Of years, travelling through
out the various stakes organizing the
work, and contributing to the I'm.
provement Era, the official publlca-
ton Of the association. In 1898 he
was called to the bishopric Of the

which his father before him had pre-
sided for many years. In 1904 he was
elected to the presidency of the Salt
Lake stake, one of the largest organ.
izations of its kind in the Mormon
church. As an exponent of the faith
Mr.. Morris has few equals and his
volunteer services have been as vari-
ed in number and character as his
official duties.
In business affairs Mr.. Morris has
always been strong advocate for
home industries, and has expended
considerable Of his time and means
In their development. In 1898 his ia
Their died and the heavy responsible
ity of conducting the AFFAIRS Of the
Elias Morris & Sons Company was
shifted to his shoulders. The con-
l'cern was more of liability than an
asset at the time, and he set to work
to put on sound faoting. He sue
ceeded in his efforts. The company Is
now on a substantial basis and Is
about to mark It's fiftieth milestone.
Mr.. Morris has perhaps devoted
more attention to the development OF
the concrete industry than any 9th.
err person In the state, and has sue
ceeded In building up business OF
national reputation. The Utah Con-
crete Pipe Company, Of which he Is
the founder, principal owner and d.
recting genius, Is recognized as one
OF the most substantial Of the home
industries and Is literally patronized
In this and other states, Just re-
Gently, through the personal enter
prise of Mr.. Morris. this company has
extended its field into South Ameri.
ca and has succeeded In placing a
heavy order for its products In that
territory. These achievements. all
due to the tireless efforts Of its man.
ager. have placed the company with
the foremost OF Its kind in the United
States.
Besides his other business enter
prises, Mr.. Morris is heavily inter
ester in the Deseret Building Soci
ETY.. He was one of the original In
corporators and has been its presi
dent for the past ten years. This as
Isociation, founded on the mutual plan
has made a splendid record and Its
assets have grown to approximately
one million dollars.
Notwithstanding the extent OF his
sectarian work and his business en-
terprises, Mr.. Morris devotes more
time perhaps TO the serious study oil
ts, atecraft and the exposition Of pub
| lie issues than any churchman or
business captain In the state. He
was prominent Republican member
