From Monday's Dally Yesterday shortly after the noon hour, while Paul Guthmann and Ewing Sharp were on their way to enjoy a hunting trip in search of ducks along the Missouri river bot toms, Paul Guthmann was the victim of a very serious accident that will perhaps leave his right arm in a partionally useless condition. The boys were going through the yards of the Burlington enroute to the hunting grounds and it seems that the twelve gauge shotgun of Guthmann was cocked, he seeming ly having forgotten this fact, set the gun down butt first on the ground and having the upper por tion of the right arm over the end of the barrel. The weapon was dis charged, the shot and bullets enter ing the arm and inflicting a very serious wound. The flesh and muscles of the upper portion of the arm were torn and some portions of the muscle and flesh blown off by the force of the discharge. The injured boy was hurried to the offices of the Drs. Livingston where temporary aid was given and he was then taken to Omaha and placed in the St. Catherine's hospital for treatment. It is not thought that the injurv will necessitate the amputa tion of the arm, but it will be a very severe case to handle in order to give the young boy the full use of the arm as hhe had before and may result in some crippled condition of the mem ber. The lad is fourteen years of agej and has made his home here for his lifetime with Mrs. F. R. Guthman and family who have reared him and to the members of the family the ac cident came as a very great shock.
