SHOT IN EYE BY AIR RIFLE Loren Hunt, Age 7, May Lose Sight Os Left Eye As Result Os Injury Loren Hunt, seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hunt, 122 South First Stree will probably lose the sight of his left eye as a result of the injury received when n bullet from an air rifle, tired by a boy named “Myers” or "Meyers" struck it, entitling a blood < lot to form and injuring the pupil. The shooting occured late Tuesday afternoon as the Hunt boy, his brother and a couple of his pals were playing In the yard back of the Hunt home. The boy witli the title came through the alley and more titan likely an argument was started.' Hite brother and "Chick” Aschleman who was playing with the Hunt hoys, stated that the boy with the rifle "fired" at them, one of the little lead pellets striking Loren in the eye. He was taken to Dr. E. W. Smith’s office, and the doctor advised taking him to an eye physician. The mother took him to Dr. J. M. Miller who examined | the injured eye and expressed the beI lief that it would be impossible to | save it. However, tills morning the ' the hemorhage, had disappeared to some extent and it was lioped tliat the eye could be saved. The Hunt boys did not know the nickname or given name of the boy j who had the gun, they stating when interviewed this morning, that his , name was "Myers." The Aschleman boy spoke up. "I saw him this morn . ing and •licked’ him." The Hunt boy is a happy, go-lucky .little chap and, even with his eye bandaged, was out playing with his j brothers and pals this morning.

NATIONAL FLAG 1 DAY OBSERVANCE Flags To Be Unfurled Throughout The Nation Tomorrow, June 14 The approach of Flag Day tills ’ I week, recalls the birthday of the ■ United States flag on June 14, 1777, when the Congress of the new Republican in session at Philadelphia, ‘'Resolved. That the (lag of the thirteen . Fnited Stalos shall be thirteen stripes, alernate white and red, and tliat the union be thirteen white stars on a field of blue,” The 'first flag is said to have been ' made by Elizabeth Ross, flagmaker, I it 23!) Arch street, Philadelphia. The ’ French Navy first saluted the American flag on February 14, 1778, being • ihe first recognition given to the new ’ ensign by any foreign nation. Tlte • first time the stars and stripes were unfurled over a foreign country’ was I when Captain John Hathhurne took - nosscssion of Fort Nassau, New Provi- • deuce Islands. The American colors ' were first shown* in a British port by ■ the ship Bedford, reporting at the 1 ustom house, London, February 6, ■ 1783, ' During the War of 1812, the flag had fill eon strips and fifteen, stars, ’ the number having been increased by 1 in act of Congress on the admission of Vermont ami Kentucky in 1795. The flag whose “broad stripes and bright stars" inspired “The Star 1 Spangled Banner" at Fort McHenry, when Francis Scott Key, held prison--1 tr on a British was vessel in the harbor of Baltimore, wrote on the back ■>f an old envelope whilh he carried in a pocket, the National Anthem. On the admission of Indiana as a <tat< in 1816, a committee was appointed to inquire into the proposition >f making changes in the flag and at 'he suggestion of Captain S. C. Reid, he number of stripes was reduced to the original thirteen, and the stars increased to represent the number of states. By the following enactment, April 'I. ISIS, the present status of our lag was fixed: “Rcsqlved. That from md after the 4th of July next, the lag of the United States be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; that the union have twenty ' stars, white in a field of blue; that on ’ 'be admission of every new state one • >tar be added to this union of the . lag. and that such additions shall lake effect on the 4th of July O"Xt I text succeeding such admission.” ! By custom which h is arisen during > he years the flag has come to be displayed more ami more each year on the birthday of the flag. Business houses, public buildings and private homes all over the land display the I olors which stands for our union, on ,■ 'hat day. Societies of the land take it •ipon themselves to keep the day i >romis< ntly in the minds of the peo- ■ »le of the country so that the day has become next best known perhaps to ' the birthday of the nation itself.

He first appeared in our courts in the year 1859 und from the beginning attracted attention on account of the zeal and earnestness in presenting the cause of his clients. His clients camo from all walks of life. He accepted employment from a poor num as readily as from the wealthiest citizen. In presenting his case to the court, he was an earnest and eloquent. advocate, ajid his zeal in the cause of his client was unflagging. He was especially successful in jury trials, quick at repartee, with a broad sense of humor. His inclinations wore not limited to the study and practice of law, but he was a student of and familiar with the best literature and art. Much of his spare time was spent in the study of tiiese subjects. in addition to the legal and intellectual attainments of our brother, tlie members of the Adams county bar will always remember Steve Whipple on account of his geniality, has sociability and his delightful and ideasing personality. For after all it is not solely the lawyer's m'sslon to represent his cicnt honestly and to see that the laws are enforced, but it is his further duty to spread the gos-j pel of sunshine and good cheer to all those with whom he comes in contact. This mission was fulfilled by our departed brother. We, h-s professional brethren, who knew him long, intimately ami well held in high appreciation the qualities of mind and heart which charac-, terized h’s life, and we unite in this brief and imperfect memorial. We! extend to his family our sincere con-1 f'<dencc and recommend that a page of the Order Book of the Adams Circuit Court be dedicated and set aside to his memory and that these resolutions be transcribed thereon.
