WAS HUNTING WITH THREE
COMPANIONS WHEN HE RE-
‘CEIVED A CHARGE OF
SHOT IN HIS NECK
AND SHOULDER
The first gunning accident ‘to hap-
pen to any one thruout this section
this season, occurred last Thursday,
Amos Newcomer, aged nineteen
years and a son of Mr. Norman New-
comer of near the Garfield school
house in Rapho township, being the
victim. :
Mr. Amos Newcomer and George
“Sixty” Groff of this place and Amos
Newcomer and Roy Breneman, south
of town, went to Indiantown Gap
early Thursday morning. When they
reached the mountain there they took
to the woods and hunted for turkey.
The four stationed themselves suit-
able distances apart. Suddenly there
appeared a grey squirrel and George
Groff leveled his repeater at Mr.
Squirrel, which was feeding on the
ground, and shot. : :
Amos Newcomer was in line with
the squirrel and being only about
fifty yards away, received the greater
portion of the load in the back of his
neck and shoulders. He was 1m-
mediately taken to a physician at
Jonestown, who ordered him taken to
the Good Samaritan Hospital at Leb-
anon for treatment. :
He was given medical attention
there and a number of the pellets
were removed, about twenty being
embedded in the fleshy part of his
neck and shoulders. =
He returned from the hospital next
day and will recover.

THIRTY CENTS A POUND
FOR 1917 TOBACCO
\Y
\, Stupendous as may seem the fig-
ures, nevertheless the sale of the
1917 crop of Lancaster county to-
bacco will net the growers this year
more than $9,000,000. At least 85
per cent. of the crop has been con-
tracted for, stated a prominent to-
bacco buyer today, who is in a posi-
tion to know. The high price was
reached today, when several crops in
the vicinity of East Petersburg were
contracted for at thirty cents per
pound.
Tobacco buyers representing many
firms are scouring the county in all
sections today in an effort te outbid
and secure crops from their com-
petitors.
On Monday, at Georgetown, seven
buyers were registered at the hotel
there for dinner, thus showing that
all points of the county are being
reached in the chase after this year’s
crop.

COLORED MAN
KILLED AT RHEEMS
PREMATURE EXPLOSION OF
DYNAMITE AT A QUARRY,
SHATTERED HIS LEG
AND HE DIED AT
THE HOSPITAL
A premature explosion of dyna-
mite, which occurred at the quarries
of the Pennsylvania Lime, Stone and
Cement Company, at Rheems, Mon-
day afternoon about 3 o’clock, shat-
tered the right leg of John Williams,
colored, 35 years of age, of Rheems,
which resulted in his death, that
evening at 5:45 o'clock, in the
General hospital.
Coroner Benjamin S. Dillinger and
his physician, Dr. John J. Newpher,
of this place, held an investigation
at the hospital that night and de-
cided that death was purely ac-
cidental, the explosion causing a com-
comminuted fracture of the
pound,
right knee, which produced a great
amount of hemorrhages and a shock.
The loss of blood and the shock was
the direct result of Williams’ death.
Williams was employed by the
company as a dynamiter, and he with
several others were in the act of con-
necting the wires to discharge a
quantity of dynamite. The charge
had been placed in the drilled hole,
and Williams was connecting the
wires to the fuse, when it exploded.
Williams’ right leg was almost torn
from his body, the flesh being com-
pletely blown away, and the bones
shattered. Roy Schroll, a fellow
worker, within fifteen feet of the
explosion was untouched, or injured
either by flying stones or the force
of the discharge. :
Other employees hurriedly took
Williams to the office of Dr. A. F.
Snyder, of this place, who im-
mediately ordered him to ‘the Lan-
caster General hospital, to which in-
stitution he was admitted at 4:45
o'clock. Death followed in one hour.
That the explosion of the dyna-
mite was premature was probably
due to the fact that the discharge
was the third one. The method of
tearing loose the rocks, was first to
in which a small charge
drill a hole, i
of dynamite was exploded thus en-
gecond charge
larging the hole. A
£till further enlarged the opening,
and the third charge of a large
quantity of the dynamite was to ren-
der apart the side of the hill. The
workers according to reports, had
exploded the first two charges in
quick succession, which ‘caused the
earth to become heated, and when
the third charge was placed, the heat
caused the explosion.
Williams is formerly from Virginia
and as far as is known, is not mar-
ried. Efforts were matie to find
some one who knew him, so that
any relatives could be notified of his
death.
Had a Fine Trip
A very fine trip to York county
on Sunday was taken by Chas. Ba-
con, Frank Sangen, H. F. Hamilton,

1S FREED FRCM BLAME
OF KILLING A WOMAN
Coroner E. R. Miller exonerated J.
Omar Nissley from all blame in con-
nection with the killing of Mrs.
Susanna Gehman on last Tuesday
evening at the corner of West Chest-
nut and Mulberry streets, Lancas-
ter, by his automobile. The coroner
held an investigation, at the police
station on Friday evening. He
deemed it unnecessary to select a
jury, as no conflicting elements were
at issue.
The testimony of a number of wit-
nesses tended to show that the acci-
dent was unavoidable. None of the
witnesses called could state that the
automobile was running at an exces-
sive speed. The only witness to the
fatal accident was Boyd Winklebeck.
He saw the woman struck and killed,
but he could not ascertain at what
rate of speed the automobile was
running. He stated ae heard a grind-
ing of the brakes just before the
automobile struck Mrs. Gehman. She
was then turned over several times
and thrown beneath the machine. She
was dragged about fifty feet, he said.
Mr. Nissley, who was driving the
car, is a son of Clayton L. Nissley.
The family formerly resided at Done-
gal Springs where they have many
friends.

MANY MEN WILL
BE RE-EXAMINED
EXEMPTION CLAIMED MUST
AGAIN BE PRESENTED—
QUESTIONAIRES ARE
NOW BEING CIRCU-
LATED TO DIS-
CHARGED MEN
Washington, Nov. 17—New regula
tions under which the remaining
availables of the nine million men
registered for military duty will be
drafted for service with the colors
were announced to-day by Provost
Marshall General Crowder. The new
regulations are coincident with the
division of eligibles into five cla
and the circulation of the offi
questionaires which have been dis-
cussed in previous announcements.
The new regulations, as has been
announced before, repeal all pre
ceding regulations, cancel all exemps
tions and discharges granted undef
the old system and restore every
registered man to his original status.
He will hereafter be required to un=
! men.
The questionaires now are bein;
circulated among the registrants af
the rate of five per cent. of each
local registration each day. Volun-
teer medical and legal boards being
organized in each district will a
| registrants in making out the forms
| and supporting affidavits which are
very complete.
The effect of the regulations is to
| close the ranks of the Army, Navy
or Marine Corps absolutely to men
between twenty-one and thirty-one:
years of age, where they have de-
pendents upon them, who would suf-
fer if they went to the front. Lo
boards are constituted judges of all
such cases.
For the first time also a way is
provided in which men physically un-
fited for front line duty in the Army,
and yet able to do some part of the
work of a soldier, may be called for
limited military service behind the
lines. Partial physical exemptions
may be granted by local boards to
create this new classification.
