On Tuesday morning D. L. Demaree found strewn about his poultry yard thirty-five chickens that had been killed by a mink. He knows it was a mink that killed the chickens because the heads were partly eaten off, and the throats cut in a way peculiar to tbe mink. Only a few days before he gave chase to an old mink that was carrying its young one in its mouth, and he succeeded in killing the young mink. An accidental shooting occurred lasl; Saturday night, by which a member of one of the oldest families in Bloomington was neriously
wounded Fred. Hendrix, sou of
Gov. Hendrix. It was at about eleven o'clock that Jas, Sluss was weeding his way homeward past the Vanzandt undertaking establishment, qver which Fred. Hen
drix rooms. A dog belonging to
Hendrix rushed at Sluss, barking
in a vicious way, and Sluss leveled his revolver at the dog and fired.
The ball struck the stone pavement,
glanced and buried itself in the
right thigh of the dog's owner, who was sitting on the step mear by.
The ball was probed for but was
not found. The wound is n danger" otis oue, os all gunshot wounds in the leg are and the result may be serious. On Thursday evening of last week, Otto, the 13-year old son of I. Milt. Rogers, was seriously injured in one of his eyes by a brown heron he had wounded. He fired at the bird, the charge of shot breaking one of its wings. After falling, the heron crouched down in the grass, in a manner peculiar
to this bird, and young Rogers
stooped ever to pick it up. Just as
he did so the heron darted out his long neck and struck the boy in
the left eye. He did not realize the extent of the injury for some time, but was finally sent to town where the eye was examined by Drs. Rogers and Maxwell. The strong bill of the heron had perforated the eye-ball above the irris through which a portioia exuded and was clipped off. Ottto was taken to Dr. Smith at Gosport, next day, and is undergoi ng palliative treatment with the hope of preventing inflammation. The result is, of course,uncertain ho may become totally blind iu the left eye but a different sequel is hoped for.
