for deer with a party In White Deer
valley, near Loganton, Monday morn-
ing. A bullet from a high-power rifle
hit Dougherty In the hip and went en
tirely through. The ball missed the
bone by a narrow margin and as a
result there 8 no fracture. No one
knows who shot the gun and the affair
is quite a mystery to the party, On
Monday afternoon he was taken to his

Sleeve Caught in Cog Wheels.
Irvin Harry, an employee in the
canning department of the Milk Con-
densary, at Mill Hall, met with a
painful accident Monday while at
work In that department. By some
means his sleeve was caught in a set
of cogs, and his right arm was drawn
into the cogs and badly lacerated. His
heavy clothing alone saved him from
a worse fate, as they choked the cogs
and caused the machinery to stop,
