Serious Accidents.

The dynamite cap is a dangerous
thing to have sport with, as the fol-
low incidents will bear testimony:
On Monday of last week a little son
of Mr.. and Mrs J. NJ. Kearnes, this
place, in some way, got hold of one of
these high explosives, struck it with a
rock, which made it explode, and a
number of pieces of the cap, made of
copper, went into his left leg, making
the wounds very painful. DR.. Flow
ers was called and up to Tuesday af-
ternoon all the pieces of the cap had
not been extracted
On Wednesday morning a more Sc
rious accident occu.r red at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joen N. CoroVer, who
live one mile South of town. Their
son James, their oldest offspring, who
is in his eleventh year, found cap on
the premises, and boy like, he con-
cluded to shoot it. Procuring a nail
ne stuck it in the cap, struck it with
hard substance, and as a result he
lost the ends of his first and second
fingers and the end of his thumb off
his left hand. He was brought to the
Office of DR.. Flowers, where his
wounds were dressed. While his hand
will be dis6gured he will have very
good use of it
These accidents should be a warning
to all the boys reminding them should
they find cap to let it severely alone.
1t is hoped that these two lads will
soon recover, and that there will be no
more serious results than is stated
above.
