ARM SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
From Wednesday's Daily
Paul Lenipke, who is now back
from his sojourn of several weeks at
the St. Catherine's hospital where
he was recovering from the effect
of the injuries sustained in the ac
cidental shooting of some two months
ago, is making good progress with
his injured arm which it is thought
will in the course of time be restored
to its former condition.
The muscles and tlesh of the arm
were very badly lacerated by the
shot that was discharged into the
right arm, in the accidental discharge
of the shotgun of the young man, for
a time leading to the belief that the
arm would be at least partially
crippled, but the patient has been as
sured that the member will be as
useful as ever in a short time.
Paul is continuing the course of
treatments at the hospital, making
several trips there each week to have
the injured arm dressed and cared
for and which will require some time
to completely restore the arm to its
former condition.

:;on-in-law Charles Roper, motoreel i
down to the island this morning to
investigate the matter. I
On the arrival ofthe authorities

in his overalls a small metal tag of j
the Armour Packing Co., with the
number 5341 and which later serv

Further investigation by the coun
ty attorney disclosed the fact that
the man was married and leaves a
wii'e and five children, the family
being in very poor circumstances.
Both Ban and his wife were Austr
iaus and the Investigation of the
facts in the case was hampered by
this fact that the wife could not
fully understand the questions.
The cause of the drowning is
thought to be suicide as the man
had been complained of in the courts
at Omaha by his daughter on account
of his conduct towarel her anel
which fact had greatly affected the
man and probably led to his suicide.
The family of the deceased have
not decided as to their wishes in re
