ELEV A FINGER OFF. Alby Lemons Krtriret a J'alaful Wound Ht the Accidental Dlcharj of Shotgun. Alby Lemons, a young man who makes bis home with Aaron Wells, who lives 13 miles southwest cf Goodland, was the victim of a serious accident last Thursday afternoon at four o'clock. Lemons, in company rith Horace Brewer and Herman Ilillman, were out rabbit hunting; driving a team of horses hitched to a farm wagon. When the accident happened Lemons was ia the act of getting into the wagon.

He had placed the butt of the gun on a step on the wagon, having hold of the barrel with his right hand. At this moment the team started on and the gun slipped off its platform and through Lemons' hand so his fingers covered the end of the barrel. The fall of the gun discharged the load which tore the second finger of the right hand completely off, and mangled the first finger quite badly. Lemons was brought to town and Dr. Farrow dressed the wounded hand.

Riddle, and Grand Keeper of Records and Seals Gus J. Neubert. The Good-land lodge will be represented. Took Time Ity the Forelock. John Meddins, a Goodland printer, who, remarkable as it may seem, has a farm in Cheyenne county, has reached New York in his touring.

He was ar-) ranged there December 10, charged with insanity. That is a proper proceeding. A man who would leave Kansas and go to Ne-v York shows by that act that his mental condition will warrant investigation. As a matter of fact Ottto Auer tumbled to this proposition and hiked back in a big hurry. He had sense enough left to realize his condition.

Consigned to earthy mould; God needed one more angel child. To grace the shining band. And so He bent with love, and smiled. And clasped our 'Willie's hand. Drugs and Jewelry PERSONAL NOTES.
