When returning home Mr. Scrivner, who was carry- ing his gun with both barrels cock- ed, attempted to let the hammers down, when one barrel was discharg- ed. the shot taking effect in the calf of Mr. Loyd’s right leg badly muti- lating that member. He was taken to hishome and Dr. Por- ter summoned who dressed his wound. Thursday Dr. Boulware and amputate the leg. The doctor informs us that when he got there erysipelas had set in above the wound making it impossible to suc- cessfully operate on him. He fur- ther said that if the erysipelas was reduced in a short time there was a chance of saving the life of the pa- tient, but he is in a precarious con- dition. The leg will have to be am- putated. Mr. Scrivner is heart broken over the deplorable accident though no blame can be attached to him. Later.—Dr. Boulware was again called to Foster Monday and after consultation with the physicians and immediate relatives, of Mr. Loyd, amputated the limb at the thigh. As the flesh below the knee had began to slough off the doctor had serious doubts as to whether Loyd would rally from the operation, and so informed the family, but, as it was not a matter of choice, their con- sent was given. At last accounts Loyd was still alive and slight hopes are entertained that he might recover. “A Sad Smee. — Mrs. MeNeil, wife of John Me- Neil, a prominent farmer living about two miles north of Rosier, committed suicide Wednesday last by taking carbolic acid. No reason was given or left in writing by the lady for taking her life, and her husband and friends are at a loss to know why she committed the rash act. Mr. McNeil states that when he left the house after breakfast to goto his work in the field she was in her usual health and spirits and that when he returned at noon for dinner, he found her in a dying condition. We are informed that before tak ing the fatal dose of medicine Mrs. MeNeil made careful preparations as she had taken a bath, dressed her- self in her wedding garments, put on clean underclothing and laid her bonnet near at hand. She was the daughter of Wm. Harper, a prosperous and highly respected farmer, living some three miles northeast of Rosier, and had been married to Mr. McNeil about two years. She leaves two babies.
