SEE THAT YOU HEAR IT FILL UP YOUR BINS NOW GRANT-WARNER LUMBER CO. BOY SHOT IN MILROY TOWNSHIP Saturday evening Ernest Underhill, the 17-year-old boy who haa been staying with Marion Dunn In Milroy township, was shot in the calf of the leg by chicken thieves. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn had gone to Rensselaer with Mr. and Mrs. McAleer, who live a quarter of a mile from the Dunn home. After being shot the lad started for the McAleer home. When about halfway he called for help and Irene McAleer, the only one awake at home, heard his call. Getting a lantern she went to see what was wrong, not knowing who it was nor what had happened. He told her what was the trouble and she helped him to the McAleer home and called for Dr. Besser at Remington and her parents in Rensselaer. Owing to her presence of mind of tying a handkerchief around the leg above the wound and tightening it by putting a poker (that being the only thing handy) in the knot and twisting it as tight as possible, and by cutting the lad’s tangled and bloody clothing from the wound the boy's life was saved. The shot had not touched the bone, however. Five stitches were taken to close the wound. The boy was tiken to the Dunn home Sunday afternoon and is getting along as well as could be expected. It Is not known who did the shooting. xx PINE VILLAGE AND VALPARAISO Perhaps the best football game Rensselaer will see this season will be played here tomorrow aftertioon when the Pine Village and Valparaiso teams meet.
