YOUNG LAD STABBED WITH SHEEP SHEARS

Ergus Timmons Receives Bad Stab From George Zea While Topping Onions at Turfler Farm. y A deep gash between the eleventh and twelfth ribs on the left side, made by a pair of sheep shears wielded in the hands of George Zea on the Dr. F. A. Turfler farm Monday afternoon may prove serious for Ergus Timmons, 16 years of age. The two were topping onions for Dr. Turfler when the trouble happened. According to Timmons Zea had been teasing him by taking onions from his box and putting them in'Ms own. Timmons says that he made threats and when Zea did not stop he struck him with his fist. Zea then swung back at him with the shears in his hands and struck Timmons in the side. The blow went into the chest cavity but it is not thought that the lung was touched. Dr. Washburn was called and the wound was dressed. It is a very painful injury and the extent can not yet be known. The shears were being used to top onions and were covered with that substance. A number were near when the trouble occurred but they do not seem to lay the blame on either fellow, although they say Zea is much the older and might have been more careful. *. Zea came to town this afternoon to try to adjust matters and his story in some respects corresponds to that of Timmons. He says that the trouble started after each had been throwing onions all day. He says that when he dashed his hand with the shears toward Timmons that he intended to turn it and strike with the back of his hand but just then Timmons turned and his arm struck Zea’s hand in such a way that he was unable to stop the blow. He says that it was purely an accident for they were in a playful attitude when they started.

To Borrow Vast Sum of Money From United States.

The present plan of the joint AngloFrench financial commission, it is reported, is to borrow $1,000,000,000 in the United States on straight British and French government bonds without collateral whatever. If this vast sum of money is obtained, it is said, it is to be spent, to the last cent, in the United States in paymen of wheat, cotton, meat and other commodity shipments, including munitions of war. It will, therefore, in the opinion of financial authorities, be classified as a commercial loan. Whether the neutrality of the U. S. would be questioned, in case the bankers financing the loan should accept straight British and French government notes as their security, has been given serious consideration. It was said that the financiers familiar with the plan had every reason to believe that the Washington administration would not interfere.
