Practically nil the furniture for the

Shot in the Arm.
Henry Elias, the 14-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. M. Elias living in the
First ward, was shot in the arm by the
accidental discharge of a gun yesterday
afternoon. The accident happened at
Gannett, to which place Elias and young
Chirley Hirsch had accompanied
Clarence Day in an automobile.
Clarence had loft the car in charge of
the boys while he went down the
Tiver to look for the beaver trapper.
There was a shot gun in the car and
the boy concluded they would go scout
ing for jack rabbitts along the river
bank. In their jaunt they got on the
Tiver ice and young Hirsch, who was
carrying the gun, slipped and fell, the
-weapon was discharged and part of the
load entered Elias right arm between
tho elbow and shoulder. In the mean
time Day had gotten several miles
away from the car, and though Hirsch
liad never run one, he succeeded in
cranking it and getting his wounded
companion in, he drove to Maxwell and
found a physician who dressd the
-wound. Day later learned of the ac
cident, made a speedy sprint to Max
well, and as soon as the physician was
through, hurriedly drove home with the
boy. It has not yot been determined
whethor it will-be necessary' to "ampu
tate tho arm.
