Young Man Was Cared for By Companions Who Dressed The Wound and Later Carried Him to Farmer's Home.

Albert Krone of this city, while hunting this morning in the neighborhood of Boston, was painfully, but not dangerously Injured by the explosion of his shot gun, the shot entering his right shoulder. He was taken to the farm house of Robert Lamb on the Abington pike. A physician was summoned, and after dressing the wound he said that Mr. Krone's chances for a speedy recovery were excellent. fio attempt will be iftade to bring him back to his home In this city for some time.

Krone and his companions were

walking through a corn field. Krone's gun. was cocked and In some mysterious manner, when he stumbled and fell the muzzle of the gun pressed against his shoulder and the explosion sent a charge into the young man's body. His companions stopped the flow of blood as best they could with handkerchiefs and pieces of clothing and carried him to the farm house. Krone Is supposed to have stumbled in a rabbit hole.

FINED FOR ASSAULT

Walter Davis Became Hostile And Paid Penalty.

Walter Turner, who was to have been tried this morning in the city court before a jury on a charge of having assaulted Thomas Nichols, changed his plea to guilty at the last moment and was fined $1 and costs. Turner had a dog belonging to Thomas Nichols. When Nichols saw

the dog Saturday night with Turner, I

he attempted to take it. Turner protested and then became hostile. Nichols thought at first Turner was joking with him, but when he realized that the man was trying to assault him, Nichols lost his temper and gave Turner a seyere thrashing.

Local teachers in the public schools were gratified to receive their salaries for the month of December on last Friday despite the fact that it was the notorious Friday, the thirteenth. All of the teachers were paid in full to the close of the year. In this connection it is interesting to local teachers

to know that in RIchnioud, there has j

not existed a system such as has been In vogue in Indianapolis for many years, whereby a portion of all the salaries of theteachers, was withheld from payment until the close of the year. It has been the custom of the school board of the capital city to reserve payment of 2 per cent each month of the salaries until the end of the year, when the back pay was included with the last month's salary. This custom was used as a means of compelling all of the teachers to serve out the entire year or else run the chance of losing a portion of their salaries. The school board also found an advantage in this method, as the salaries thus retained made quite a large sum which was placed out at interest. Thus the school board arbitrarily retained a portion of the salaries of the teachers and derived the interest incurring therefrom. The Indianapolis papers took up the cause of the teachers on the matter and exposed the purpose of such a custom and

consequently at the end of the present

current scnooi montn, which is next Friday, all of the teachers of Indianapolis, will for the first time ;i recent years, receive their salaries In full.

ADMITTED HIS GUILT

Frank Davis Was Charged With Trespass.

BOY IS RELEASED
