SHOT HIS HAND OFF.

Kentland Enterprise: Frank Weishaar, a young man living between Brook and Goodlapd, met with a shooting accident Saturday morning. He and a friend were out rabbit hunting and as young Weishaar was climbing a fence the gun discharged. He had his hand over the end of the barrel and the two smaller fingers were blown off. The third finger was so badly lacerated that he wf*g taken to Chicago Monday where new skin will be grafted in hopes of saving the rest of his hand.
