Landy McGee was out hunting with two Chicago sportsmen last Thurday. A covey of quail arose from the ground and McGee rose his gun to his shoulder and fired and brought down the bird. At the same time a cry was heard and one of the Chicago men was discovered to have received part of the shot in his body. Dr. Loughridge picked out 46 shot, 21 from the neck and 25 from the right hand and arm. Some of the shot were buried so deep they could not be removed. The sportmen returned to Chicago the next day.

John Osborne had a narrow escape from death a few days ago and bears the trace of his mishap yet. He took the milk trian for Lee in the evening and when the engineer whistled for Lee he went out on the platform, and thinking the train had come to a stop stepped off into the darkness. The train proved to be going at a high rate of speed and Mr. Osborne found himself on his face plowing up the hard cinders. His face'was badly cut in several places and his back badly wrenched. He was covered with blood when he reached a house. The train pulled out without the train men knowing anything of the accident.
