LEE SNODGRASS MEETS WITH ACCIDENT

Lee Snodgrass, one of the men selected to go today with drafted men, met with an accident yesterday. He was blowing stumps for J. J. Lawler on Dr. Haskell’s farm, when the accident happened. h He was preparing the dynamite cap ready to insert into dynamite and it exploded and lacerated first, second and third fingers of his right hand. He was brought into town and Dr. Hemphill dressed his hand. He will probably lose his second finger.
