// untiny Accidentt
The first hunting accident of the
season occured near the Jim Miller
farm east of Geary about 3 o'clock
Monday afternoon when a shotgun
in the hands of John Small wasacci-
dently discharged and the charge of
shot took effect in the right arm and
and lower shoulder of John Robnett,
who was hunting with Mr. Small.
The iiien were about 50 feet apart
at the time and the charge apparent-
ly struck Robnett in right shoulder
low down—rather between the arm
and breast. A dangerous wound
was inflicted and it is believed the
right arm was shattered.
He was taken to the home of his
sister, Mrs. S. M. Mabry, north of
town and physicians summoned. Dr.
Stough dressed the injury and it is
believed that Robnett will recover.
Scattering shots also entered his
right breast, passing between the
ribs, but it is not believed this will
prove fatal.
F. M. Gault returned the last of
of last week from a business trip
to Oklahoma City and Stillwater.
Mr. Gault is laying extensive plans
for the development of A. & M. and
other state schools and the placing
of these schools on a basis that will
be a credit to the state. It is going
to be a big job however, at the
best.
No Court Here
Jtiage Baker notified court officers
here Tuesday morning that he had
at the last moment reconsidered his
intention of having a jury term of
the county court here this week and
that there would be no court term
here at this time. We are not ad-
vised as to just what disposition
>vill be maae of the cases in this
division of the county court that
are ready for trial. This was rath-
er a disappointment to our people
who had been making ready for the
court
Entertained Christian Aid
Mrs. M. B. Carley was hostess
last Friday afternoon to the Ladies
Aid society of the Christian church,
at her home on Cheyenne avenue.
A very pleasant musical program
was rendered and a delightful two
course luncheon served. The
day's collection amounted to $3.50.
Good Show
The National Stock Company show-
ed at the opera house Wednesday
evening to a well filled house and
was a good show. Ansel White, a
Geary boy, makes his initial appear-
ance with the company tonight at
Hydro as "Hal o' the Hills".
David Copenbarger Dead
David Copenbarger died at his
home on north Broadway at 6:30
Thursday morning after a lingering
illness of nearly three months, dur-
ing which time he has been gradually
failing. Death was due to a compli-
cation of heart trouble, an old sprain
in the back and general weakness
due to old age and long illness.
Mr. Copenbarger was 71 years old
and was one of the pioneer settlers
of this community, coming here 13
years ago, since which time he has
been actively identified with the up-
building of the community. He was
an old soldier, serving through the
war in the federal army. He leaves
behind him a wife, Elizabeth Copen-
barger, one son, Carl Copenbarger,
and four daughters, Mrs. R. W.
Thomas, of Geary, Mrs. A. B. Camp-
bell, of Geary, Mrs. R. B. Walker,
of Darlington, and Mrs. C. B. John-
son. of Portland, Ore., to mourn his
loss. All of the children will be
present at the funeral save Mrs.
Johnson, of Oregon, who will be un-
able to get here in time. As we
write this early Thursday morning
funeral arrangements have not yet
been made.
The sympathy of the entire com-
munity goes out to the bereaved
family in their sad loss.

One of the saddest incidents we
have ever had to record is the death
of the little Porter infant, grand
child of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Htrrell, at
their home on Fourth street early
in the afternoon of last Thursday.
The child was five and one-half
months old and was brought here
shortly after its birth by Mrs. Har
rell, from the home of its parents
at Howell, Mich., because of the fact
that the father was an invalid and
the task of nursing both was too
great for the mother. The child
had been sick for several weeks and
its death was not unexpected. The
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Porter, arriv-
ed here late in the afternoon of its
death and were present at the fun-
eral which was held at the residence
Friday at 2 p, m. Interment was in
the Geary cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Porter will be here
for some weeks yet in the hope that
this climate will prove beneficial to
Mr. Porter's health. In case it does
not they will go to Colorado from
here. The bereaved family have
the sympathy of the entire commun-
ity in their sadness.
Chicken Dinner
The Rebekahs announce that they
will serve a chicken dinner in the

Mrs. Schmoyer and the children are
now at Stillwater, where the mother
is ill with Tuberculosis. No more
worthy charity could be conceived
and our people are urged to patron-
ize this dinner liberally.
