Professor Dyer said: “If the people want to listen to and see something refined and cul-} tured, they should not fail to hear Miss Sanford tonight. She has been secured for the purpose of giving Be—‘ midji something unusual and I can safely promise that no one attending the lecture will be in any way disappointed.” GRAND RAPIDS DEFEATED) Bagley Downs Fast Itasca County Boys 35 to 16.

At about 2 o'clock Saturday after- noon, Glen English, 13 yeatg:old, son |of John English the commf:t_oi'. was shot in the leg, just above the knee, with a charge of shot from the barrel of an old muzzle loading shot gun, death resulting about two hours af- ter the accident. It appears that Glen together with Itwn other boys, Owen Carter also 13 | years of age and Archie Williams 20 years old, were in the wood shed of the Carter home on Beltrami avenue, umd had discovered an old muzzle loading shot gun together with sever- |al cartridges. They loaded the gun once and fired | one cartridge which went off to their satisfaction, they then attempted to reload the gun but could not get the | cartridge into the barrel, they then }began to hammer the cartridge to get it out when a loud explosion took place, the shot going through | the barrel and striking little Glen in lthe leg just above the knee. Young Williams who had received 1a slight.dinjury on the right hand when the gun went off, did not wait to see how bad the little English boy was hurt but ran for his home to have the injured hand bandaged, but Owen Carter, took his handkerchief {from his pocket, tied it around the S!eg above the wound and with the | use of a can opener twisted the hand- ’kerchief until the flow of blood had been stopped. He then ran to the house, his mother being away, telephoned to a doctor and the relatives of the in- jured boy, telling them of the acci- | dent. Dr. Shannon after a short ex- amination found that the only method in which to save the life of the boy would be to take him to the hospital. This was done but by the having taken space. ed in the development of this part of “Sure you did and when you said|von what inducements he had to how cheap it could be bought thel oy }the country will begin to let people man looking for a home passed YOu| .Now, if that method will sell a know what can be raised here, and up.
