A Remarkable Accident
While Dave Hurt and Howard
Linsacu111 were : hunting on thc
bottoms Saturday , they experienced -
ed a very remarkable accident
from which it is a great wonder
that they either escaped alivc. A
flock of ducks were flying by and
both were prepared to shoot.
trhcir positions were such that
just as Linsacum tired , Hurt's
gun which was but a few feet
away , came in range and received
the full charge on thc barrel but
a few inches from Hnrt's hanl.
Hurt fired at thc same instant and
thc gun barrel so struck by the
charge from Linsacum's gun , exploded -
plolcd with tremendous force ,
scattering steel in every dircction.
By some chance neither of thc
bOYs were struck , hut neither

A Narrow Escape.
As Fred B. Hoffman was driv-
ing from Falls City to his home
near Vcrdon Saturday evening , . l
his horses broke through the
snow into a ditch which runs i
close to thc line of walnut trees '
on thc road northwest of this +
;
city. The buggy followed the
horses with sufficient force to
throw Fred head foremost on the I
doublctrces where he became entangled - 1
tangled in thc lincs. Time horses
I
ran for some distance before thc
deep snow stopped lhcll1. Aside
from a badly bruised head Fred
escaped with out injury , though
had hc fallen beneath the team
hc would probably have sustain-
cd fatal injurics.
