PLAYS WITH DADDY'S
SHOT GUN; FOOT IS
NEARLY BLOWN OFF.
SENECA BOYS EMULATE BILL
HART WITH SORRY RESULT
ONE OF THEM is IN HOSPITAL
SUFFERING UNTOLD AGONY
FROM BULLET WOUNDS.

William Hayer, seven year old son
of DR.. and Mrs. Oren Il. Hayer, of
Miller township, was very painfully
injured yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock when he was accidentally
shot in the left foot by l2-gauge
shotgun, with which he and his old
er brother, Leo, aged IL years, were
playing during the absence of their
parents from home. At the time of
the accident Mr.. and Mrs. Hayer
were at church in Seneca, practicing
for Christmas play, to be given dur
ing the holidays.
Dr. Hayer, in statements made this
morning at Rybun hospital, said that
he did not know who pulled the trig.
ger of the gun. Russell. an older
brother, had been left at home with
William and Leo, but was outside
when the shot rang out Leo, the
only eye witness of the accident, was
too much alarmed and shocked to
tell his parents how it happened,
while the injured lad was in no con-
dition to be asked
There are two possible ways in
which the gun could have been dis
charged. Leo might have had the
gun pointed towards the floor when
it accidentally went off or William
himself might have pulled the trig-
ger. Which one had possession of
the gun when the charge went off
still remains a mystery.
DR.. Hayer stated that the gun was
empty at the time he had left home.
1t is supposed that one of the two
boys reached up to shelf over the
doorway to get one of the many shells
which were placed there by the faith
er, after which they placed the load
in the weapon.
Russell, upon hearing the shot, ran
into the house to find his younger
brother lying on the floor, with his
foot severely injured. He summoned
DR.. G. Golfer, of Seneca, and after
wards notified his parents of the ac-
cident. After the wound was tenn
porarily dressed by Dr. Golfer the
injured boy was removed to Ryburn
hospital for further treatment.
According to statements made this
morning amputaton will not be neces-
sary unless some kind of an infection
sets in, despite the fact that the boys
foot is badly mangled by the shot.
The greater part of the discharge
pierced the lads foot above the in
step and passed clear through his
foot, coming out of the outer edge.
He will be patient at Kyburn hos
pital for a number of days before he
will be able to be returned to his
home.

been satisfactory and the class of the
recruits extra ordinarily high.
One OF the most noticeable differ
ences between the old Guard and the
new one is the spirit in which the
latter has been received by the public
and especially by those of the bust
ness world. In the Worlds War. the
National Guard proved beyond doubt
that II was efficient and ready TO serve.
Its glorious record. coupled with the
new system OF organization, has
brought il 10 its rightful place in the
esteem of the people whom il serves.
Partly in recognition of this es-
TEEN. the employers of young men. in
every community throughout the
State. that is fortunate enough to have
i unit of the National Guard. have
made il easy for those men TO attend
camp. During the recruiting drives
last year. employer after employer
gave public promise that his men
should have the necessary time off for
camp without in any way interfering
with vacations.
Provides Community Protection
Older business men have another
reason for their attitude toward the
National Guard. They come to rea-
lize that the one possible form of
Community Insurance" is that which
is able TO provide protection when il
is needed. Nothing can give this pro-
lection so we'll as the National Guard
