Victor Kohl Loses Hand

Victor Kohl had the misfortune to
lose three fingers of his right hand
as the result of the accidental dis
charge of a shot gun Sunday. He
was hunting with friends at Null
lens slough in Synnes, and the party
were getting ready to return home.
Victor stood his gun on the fender
of the automobile and was standing
near the auto but was not touching
the gun. The gun slipped from the
fender and went off, the charge pass
ing thru VictOr's right hand. Three
fingers were completely shot away,
but the doctor was able to save part
of the forefnger. The wound is now
healing rapidly.
VictOr's younger brother, Lloyd,
who was with the party of hunters
had his hat blown from his head and
two shots grazed the side of his head,
causing only slight wounds, however.
The powder blew in his face and also
the face of Ed. Casey, who was just
getting in the car. Joe and Leo
Casey were with the party but they
were not hurt. Victor was taken to
tn Morris hospital, where he had
his wound dressed

Fire at Morris Bakery

The fortunate visit of Frank
Hayes to the Morris Bakery for a
basket of bread at 4:3O a. m, Mon
day and the subsequent discovery of
a fire in the building saved the city
damaging fire. Mr.. Hayes was
unable to get in the bakery through
the front door and upon trying the
back door was surprised when look
ing through a window to notice the
floor near the oven in flames.
Mr.. Hayes turned in the fire
alarm and when the fire engine and
crew arrived both the ground floor
and upper floor were in flames. The
fire however was extinguished with
out much trouble, however.
Mr.. Lime is unable to account for
the origin of the fire. AS there was
little or no fire in the furnace Sun
day, he believes that the fire must
have started on the second floor.
This seems more probable solution
for the hole in the ceiling and upper
floor was larger than the lower floor
and indicated that the burning tim
bers dropped on the floor below and
caused the latter floor to take fire.
The damage is covered by insur-
ance and the damage to the floors
was repaired Monday.

Basin, who left with the Stevens
county contingent on September ~
and is now member of Company
K, 352nd Inf N. A., at Camp Dodge.
He sent several interesting pictures
of the camp. He says in part
Am we'll and having good time
and hope you are having the same
at the fair. There are only five of
us in this camp from Morris. Was
in Des Moines last night for the first
time. 1t is ten miles from the camp
so we have to go on the trolley at
half fare. I am meeting old friends
every day from II years ago.
There are about $4,000 here now.
There are 210 in my camp and $50
will make it complete. The men
come from all over the Northwest.
We were examined Tuesday morn
ing. There were only two out of
my camp that were discharged. My
right ear was off. We have one man
here that can not talk, and in the
engineering camp they take them
with one eye.
1.-The camp is about half built
now, they say. 1 have got some of
my clothes, got my shirt this morn
ing. They say we will get one piece
each day until we get them all.
Have not had much frost down
here yet. The cornfields are quite
green. The ground is quite sandy
here and when the wind blows it is
like Minnesota days in the fields.

little bit odd to look out of the
window and see the boys marching
around in all sorts of ways"
