The accidental dltchargo of a gun this morning, while H. J. Overt urf and D. JI. Davis were hunting ducks from a canoo on the river abovo Har per, put a goodly lot of No. C shot In Overturf's right calf and hip, whllo others struck tho back of his head. Only owing to tho greatest good luck was tho accident as llttlo serious as Is proved. Other shot toro a bolo In tbo canoe which was "aa big as a hat," aa Overturf said, and it was a hard matter to get the craft to tho bank In time to keep it from sinking. Darla got to n phono as soon a poaalble, notifying II. A. Miller of the accident, and Miller at once got an auto and rushed up to Harper to bring the Injured man home. They reached hero at 2 o'clock and Over turf Is now at his home, where Dr. Fcrroll has attended to bis wounds. Whllo very painful, thoy are reported as being not In tho least wcrlous. Yesterday afternoon Overturf and Davis rode up to M. S. Miller's stop ping place at Harper, and after re maining there over night, thla morn ing went to tho river, taking O. P. Putnam's canoe which had been stored at Harper. They put this in the river near the new county bridge bolow C. D. Allen'a and thenco pad dled up river. Tho accident happened about 10 o'clock, about a mile below the mouth of apring river. Exactly how it oc curred la aonewhat hazy, but appar ently some ducks unexpectedly flow over the canoeists. Hoth dim reached for their guns, which they bad beneath the scats. As Davis drew hla out. It went off. The groat er part of the charge went through the side of the canoe, while a number of shot entered Overturf's leg and hip and struck his bead, which fortun ately was turned away. It seems as If most of the shot that reached him must havo glanced off from tho wood work of the canoe. The two reached the cast bank hen the canoe rank. It b under stood that the paddles are now voyag ing down stream, and may bo expect ed at Hend In a day or two, whllo tho canoe awaits tbo services of a diver. Neither of the guns was lost orer loard In the melee. There are several feet of snow on the Dig Meadows, and Davis had to rig up crude skis for his Injured com. panlon. with which he was helped serosa to F. A. Bbonquest's house oat tb main road. When Miller, with Henkte and Ford's auto, reached Lava Dutte, he met 8honquest In a rig bringing Overturf down. DarU followed with the aaddle horses takea from Dend yesterday. Loans fTs HMHH rV Hie?
