rlcd So v crnl .Miles Through tlio
Woods,
In the forest four miles from Nichol
son, Wyoming county, A. J. Saunders,
of this city, lint! both legs shattered
by an accidental double dlschaigo of
No 7 shot from a double- barrelled gun
In the. hands of Oscar Helph, of Nich
olson. S.iunders is a. mnnleJ. ninn
nnd conducts tho maiket at Bonn
av enuc and Spruce street.
Helph was vvnlklng a few feet In
fiemt of Saunders when he slipped nnd
fell tha trigger of tho gun .striking n
stone which discharged tho weapon.
After tho accident Belph nnd Henry
Justin, of this city, the other member
of the patty, curried their Injured com
panion two miles through the wood
and afterward drove an equal distance
In a wagon to the Nicholson station
where the 1!.10 o'clock p. m. ttnln was
taken for Scranton.
At the Lackawanna hospital Saun
ders' tight leg was amputated below
tho knee-.
Justin, Helph nnd Snunders were out
after inbbltt. The Scranton men reach
ed Nicholson In tho early moinlng nnel
were joined by Helph, who Is an ex
petlenccil hunter, thoroughly familiar
with the woods thereabouts.
I'lKST BABBIT HUNT.
It was Snunders' first rabbit hunting
CNpoilonce nnd he was meeting with
some suecess. The Hist rabbit he fired
nt fell. In nil eight rabbits had been
killed when the threo men reached a
sloping, stone-bestrewed niece' of
ground, Judged to be about four miles
from Nicholson Down this Incline
they stnrted. Helph was In the lend
with Snundeis Bailing him about three
fei t distant. Justin was off to the
tight. Belph slipped on a stone and
fell to the hard ground. His gun bar
rel rested In the crook of his loft arm
nnd the stock was in IiIh light hand.
As he fell tho ttlggeis, both of which
were nt full cock, struck hard against
n stone nnd the double report cracked
through the forest. Saunders sank to
the ground and In nn Instant partly
nrop "My God!" ho cried; "both legs
nro gone'."
Ho had attempted to stand on the
left foot which he thought was safe
Justin lushed to his side and saw the
wide gaps In Snunders' boots through
which Howe J blood. The story of that
tertlble moment and tho heroic strug
gle nfterwatd Is given In Justlns own
words:
"I saw the blood nnd the flesh on tho
outfiido of tlio boots. Tho shot had
passed clear through. It made me sick
but I knew that I must work and work
(Illicitly to staunch tho flow of blood.
With my hunters' knife I cut away the
leather. The soles of tho boots when
I took them off were nn Inch thick
with blood nnd iloatlng pieces of flesh
nnd bone. The sight numbed me. I
kept my senses nnd God. how I work
ed; taking off my coat I tore out the
lining. With this and my handker
chief I bound both legs above the
wounds. I used all my strength to tie
them tightly so as to hold back the
blood.
TBHBIBLY KXCITBD.
"All tho time I was working poor
Belph was tunning about ns If wild.
Ha would rush up tlmo nnd time again
nnd show the dent In the gun where
It stiuck the rock. 'Look Al,' he would
say; 'Look, I couldn't help It; It was
an accident, Al.. an accident!' Then he
showed the dent In the gun ngaln."
Belph nnd Justin carried the wound
ed mnn to the railroad near the Dow
ney farm. Mrs. Downey heatd the
calls for help and jumping Into a wag
on she drove over to where the wound
ed man lay. Ho was placed in tho
conveyance, his two companions sup
posing him, and taken to tho fnim
house. Saunders was growing weaker
evety minute and It was decided to
get him to NIcholbon ns soon ns possi
ble. Tha farmer drove them to the resi
dence of a physician at Nicholson, a
distance of about two miles. After ex
amining Snundeis' cemdltlon the doctor
advised that he be taken to the hospi
tal at once.
Accordingly a dispatch vvns sent to
the Lackawanna hospital summoning
tho ambulance to the station in this
city when the milk tialn ai rived.
While the party was waiting at tho
Nicholson station a boy brought them
tho three guns, eight rabbits, coats,
hats, etc., which had been abandoned
in the woods.
AMPUTATION NBCBSSABY.
Arriving nt the hospltnl It vvns at
once decided that amputation of the
right leg a few inches below tho knee
would bo necessary. Dr. P. P. Gun
ster, assisted by tho house physician,
Dr. N. A. Newbuiy, performed the op
eration at fi.30 o'clock.
The wound In tho left foot Is not
dangerous. The shot seemed to have
passed through the right leg and out
thtough the left while Saunders was
In the act of walking and had the left
foot uplifted,
Saunders tested comfortably after
the opeiatlon. He Is married and lives
with his wife and two children on
Linden street.
Belph is a inlddle-nged man nnd for
merly lived In this city, whete ho has
relatives. He Is a railroader.
CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW ASSURED.'
Is lo Open Thimduy in tho Board of
Trndo Building.
Scranton Is to have a chrysanthe
mum show. It will open Thursday un
der tho auspices of the Homo for tho
Friendless and tho city's lending llor
lsts, nnd the revonuo to bo derived will
be devoted to tho Homo organization
It seemed that Scranton was, this
season, to be elented ono of thos splen
did dotal displays which have been
such delights In past years but some
ot tho women of tho Home for the
Friendless organization, whoso energy
is proverbial fortunately willed It oth
erwise. Tho conclusion to have a show
was reached Saturday and by yoster
day afternoon arrangements had been
made with llorlsts nnd others and a
ptoper placo engaged for the exhibit.
Tho show will be given In the lnrgo
Vacant store room In tho board of
trade building. It has a lloorago much
larger than Is comprehended by those
unfamiliar with It and will be mote
than ample for tho purpose. Probably
by Thuisday noon the exhibits will bo
ready for Inspection. 11 Is proposed to
continue the display until Saturday
nlcht.
When It Is understood that private
greenhouses, nn well uh llorlsts, will
have some of their choicest products
on exhibition nnd that the Hoilsts will
not tostrlct themselves to displays of
chrysanthemums alone, the show may
bo expected to bo something very
beautiful.

DOWN PINE STREET HILL

1'S'l last nlgm. The car inn away
com'ng down the steep Incline, jumped
tho track on the curve at No. lis school
nnd dashing down the still steeper por
tion of Pine stuet between Madlon
and Jefferson nvenues ploughed "Into
tho fence surtoiindins; B. G. Couiscn's
residence.
Nobody vvns hint nnd little dnmnge
tcsulled but thcie woe five pietty
batlly scared and thoroughly shaken
reoDle.
Tr.c rar was coming fiom Thtoon to
go to Kynon street nnd was In chargf
()' Motormnn Peter Bibs and Conduc
tor Gcoige O. Kogler. At about 10.17
o'e-lock It staited down tho Pine street
hill nfter having come to a dead btop
on the top of the hill to take on Mr
Israel and Mr. Walsh. The Kills were
slippeis fiom the lain and the car
could not be conti oiled once It was
staited. Everything was dono bv the
motormnn to cheek Its speed but it
proved of no nvall. The car gained
grcitcr momentum the farther It went,
although the wheels were going In a
rever'e dliectlon and sand was being
corslnntly applied.
When the cuivo vvns reached the
runaway refused to follow tho rails,
but Instead Insisted on continuing
uowp the hill. Jumping the track It
took fcttalght course across Madison
avenue's brick pavement. Then It
struck the Belgian block on the hill
and following u sort of fish-hook
course brought up about seventy feet
down the hill asn'nst the iron fence
on the side oi L. G. Coursen'H resi
dence, which is located on the noith
west coiner of Madison avenue und
line stieet.
The fact that tho power was te
versed caused tho cnr to go over the
stone pavement In bounds and mado It
veiy uncomfot table for those nboaiel.
When the car stopped it was at right
nngles with the fence, the foivvatd
wheels juf-t over the curb and tho
guard-boat d sunk Into the eaith ot the
grass plot between the sidewalk nnd
cuiblng. A shade tree of thieo Inches
diameter was knocked down, a section
of the lion fence was broken, the fen
der of the car was stove In and a patch
of grass about six feet squaie was torn
up, but further than this no damage,
it is romatkablo to say, resulted.
The motormnn stuck to his post nnd
vvns working at the brakes when the
collision came. Tho passengers clung
to their seats nud the coneluctor hung
on behind ns best he could.
A wrecking crew, under the clmige
of Dispatcher Clint les Powell nnd
Master Mechanic Thomas J. Mullen,
succeeded, with the nld of blocks and
tackle, In getting the car back on tho
track about midnight.
About a year ngo a runaway cir
jumped this cuive and continued down
the hill to nearly Jelferson avenue. It
was drawn down another block nnd
placed on the tracks on Adams ave

marriage, which It was agreed vvns to
take place at once.
