Joke on Snyder County Teachers,
At the election of school teachers,

CAUGHT THE WRONG BIRD,
Shot two Toes Instead of a Hawk He Was
Waiting for,
On last Sunday afternoon, Will Sha-
living near H. D. Rossman’s,
about 4 miles east of here, met with a
painful shooting accident which puts
him minus the two toes nearest the
big toe of his right foot, Mr. Shafer
with gun was on the watch for a
chicken-hawk which had been play-
ing thief among his hens, Thought-
lessly he rested his gun, muzzle down,
on his foot, with, he says, trigger half-
cocked. From some to him unknown
cause, the gun went off, and with it
went one-half the first toe and the en-
tire second toe. Harvey Rossman liv-
ing near-by, at once took Mr. Bha-
fer to Dr. VanValzah, at Spring Mills,
what was left of the one toe and dress-
ed the foot. Shafer suffered consider-
juries, but prospects for healing all
right are good, and he can now count
eight toes only where once there were
ten.
