HUNTER SHOT
August BOZER, a resident of the south side, had a narrow escape from losing his life last Sunday morning while hunting in the woods several miles northeast of the city in the town of Buchanan. Having crawled through a wire fence, he pulled his gun through after him, muzzle first-the same old story; the trigger caught a wire barb, snapped, and the full charge of the gun passed through the bicep of his left arm. just below the shoulder, tearing a big hole through the flesh and shattering the top portion of the bone. BOZER called to his companion, Fred GRIMMER, who was several hundred feet distant, who hurried to his aid. There being no rig in sight the wounded man was hurried as fast as possible to a farm house almost a mile distant, where a horse and buggy was secured and a hurried trip made to the city for surgical aid. BOZER was quite weak from loss of blood and the sever pain when he reached town, having held up remarkably well. Drs. TANNER and DONALDSON dressed the wound and although the arm was badly torn and the bone
splintered, he will not lose the member unless blood poisoning sets in, and of that there is but little danger at the present writing. He is getting along nicely although it will be some time before he will be able to use the arm. A few inches to the right and the full charge would have entered his heart. A few inches higher and the shoulder joint would have been shot off, necessitating amputation. Although badly wounded the unfortunate man may
consider himself lucky that it was not of a more serious nature.


FACE BADLY CUT
While attempting to board a moving car Sunday afternoon on the Interurban line, Joseph MORAN was thrown therefrom and had his face badly lacerated on the madadamized road. Owing to the crowd that had gathered on Wisconsin Avenue to take the electric cars for the ball game at Menasha MORAN had walked down to the corner of Taylor and Lawe Streets intending to take the car and avoid the rush. Two cars were being run and the first on did not slow up at MORAN's crossing, going right through to the avenue. He attempted to board the car as it passed but missed his grip and was tossed off into the
crushed stone along the track. He was picked up in a semiconscious condition and carried to Dr. LORD's office to receive medical attention. His tongue was badly split, top of his nose cut off and face so badly gashed that it took sixteen stitches to close the lacerations. At this writing the unfortunate young man is progressing as well as could be expected.

OFF FOR WASHINGTON
Thos. R. EARLES and family took their departure Thursday for their new home at Bellingham, Washington, where Mr. EARLES expects to establish himself in the contracting business. Tom's familiar countenance will be missed in Kaukauna. He has made this city his home for many years and has always been conspicuous in local political and business circles. he served for a number of years as a member of the local police force and later as manager of the Kaukauna Electric Light company. although he had his ups and downs, ins and outs with the residents of the burg in the and political business arena, for such is life, as we cannot all see things alike, all will agree that Tom was a jolly good fellow just the same and none there are who will not join The Times in wishing him and his estimable family the best of luck in their new western home.

READY FOR BUSINESS

The railroad crossing on the MCCARTY farm which is located near where the owner is supposed to have been murdered, has the name of being the most fatal one in this part of the state.

The next victim was a tramp. The last person run down was Henry HAAS of this city who lost his life less than four months ago. The recent tragedy enacted near there has made the crossing more prominent than ever. [Michael McCARTHY was murdered on his farm at McCarty crossing]
