YOUNG MAN IMPROVING
From Wednesday's Daily
The condition of Paul Guthmann,
14 year old boy who had his arm
very badly injured last Sunday after
noon when) his shotgun was accident
ally discharged and the contents of
the gun almost shot away his arm, is
reported as being as well as could
possibly be expected under the cir
cumstances. The boy is at the St.
Catherine's hospital in Omaha and is
being given every attention and care
in the hope of checking any appear
ance of blood poison which is the
chief danger that is feared in the
case. If there are no indications of
blood poisoning appearing the boy,
it is thought, will soon be over the
effects of the wounds but as to the
full use of the arm only the develop
ments of the case can fully deter
mine. HOG SALES THIS MONTH
In this issue of the Journal will
be found the advertisements of two
of the leading hog sales in Cass coun

line of Duroc boars and gilts for the
breeders of the county.
The sale of Mr. Knabe will be held
at the Hicks pavillion at Nehawka at
1 o'clock in the afternoon on the 24th
and will afford the Hampshire breed
ers an opportunity of getting some
fine additions to their herds.
The Schafer Brothers will hold
their sale at their farm nine miles
northwest of Nehawka and six miles
west of Murray, their place being well
known to the swine breeders of this
part of Nebraska.

these two big sales and should attend
both as some of the best stock in the
county will be offered.
