Sanford Bowman, the young man who was so seriously injured by the accidental discharge of a gun, which we made mention of last week, has been in a precarious condition, and may yet become necessary to remove his arm. The old Indian’s remark that a gun was a dangerous weapon, even without a lock, stock or barrel is about a fact. There is too much carelessness connected with them by those who go out to enjoy the pleasure of a hunt. H. V. Weaver, the funeral director for C. C. Sigler, Son & Co., took the time last Saturday to show ns a record of funerals which they keep.
