Shot Bis Thumb Off.
Charles Sandoz met with an accident
this morning from fooling with a shot
gun, unloaded, of course. Mis wife
wanted a chicken for dinner, and Sandoz
sent a man after his shot-gun. When it
was handed over to him be asked if it
was loaded, and was told that one bar
rel was. He evidently misunderstood
the answer and playfully put the gun
against his head, when his wife told him
to be' careful or be would shoot himself,
Then he held his right thumb over tbe
end of tbe barrel and pulled the trigger
The gun did not miss fire ; guns seldom
do that under such circumstances, and
the result was tbe thumb was shattered
back to tbe first joint.
Our reporter went up to Dr. Hollister's
office to get the item, and found Sandoz
in tbe chair, with the doctor cutting
the broken pieces out. He at once be
gan to tell us bow tbe accident hap
pened, seemingly unconscious of the
fact that the doctor was whittling bis
thumb.
The Tournament.
X
The Jackson Engine Co., at its meet
ing last night, very generously donated
$50 of its funds towards assisting in pre
paring for the fireman's tournament this
fall. We understand a committee will
soon wait upon our business men tor
the purpose of soliciting funds for the
tournament. To make the matter
success will require considerable money
and donations should be liberal. The
efficiency of the firemen is the only pro
tection we have against fire and as their
services are given free, the giving of
money should be looked upon as a busi
ness transaction, for which every busi'
ness man and : property owner gets t
valuable return.
