Shot In Left Leg

Leo Carroll, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Barney Carroll, is at the Losey hos
pital suffering from injuries received
Tuesday afternoon, when he was
shot in the fieshy part of the left
leg while hunting rabbits near Lake
Latimer in company with a boy
friend, Morris Van Horrick. While
his wounds are painful and numerous
more than 125 separate shot wounds
being apparent, unless there are COM
plications arising from infection, he
is expected to make recoverl.
The accident happened in pc
culiar manner and no blam attaches
to Morris, from whose shotgun the
charge came which resulted in Leo's
injuries. When a rabbit was chased
up by the boys, Leo shot at it ano
missed. Both boys then ran after
the rabbit, Leo in the lead. Morris
became entangled in the brush and
fell, his gun was discharged and the
heavily loaded Super-X shell sent a
loaad of shot straight at Leo, only
about 100 feet distant.
- Morris showed great presence of
mind following the accident and pick
ed Leo up and carried him to the
home of H. F. Hasselburg, whose
son, Otto hurriedly motored to towr

injuries were dressed, but because Of

Washington, March 26, H1--- Seventeen rersons-all negroes were lynched in the United States during 1925, an increase of one over the record for 1924, the Federal Council of Churches set forth today in its annual report on the sub- iect.
 All the states in which the lynch ings occurred were not named di- tectly, but the council put on its honor roll SS commonwealths where no lives had thus been taken. It also saw an encouraging sign in the fact that in thirty nine cases officers Of the law had prevented mob vio- lence and that there had been a number of convictions of mob members.
 The report was prepared by the councils Committee on Race Re- lations and the committee in an accompanying statement declared mob law has thrown down the gauntlet 10 the churches and all other organizations standing for law and order and justice through the courts"
