BOY'S ARM SHATTERED IN HUNTING ACCIDENT Bluffton, Ind., Oct. 30.-Paul Clowser, 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Clowser, living near Craigville, suffered a badly shattered right arm in an accident near his home. The lad had gone hunting with his father, his brother and another lad. Mr. Clowser laid down a shotgun he was carrying to obtain a club to chase a rabbit out of the butt of a tree. In some manner the shotgun was discharged while lying on the ground, the load striking the Clowser youth in the right arm. The injured boy was brought to the Wells county hospital here where an operation was performed for the removal of 16 or 18 shots. Practically every bone in the Iad's arm was shattered by the accident. The boy was weakened by the loss of a large quantity of blood. Nelson J. Shook. administrator of the estate of the late George F. Baltz, has been authorized in the DeKalb circuit court to sell real estate in order to pay claims. The property was appraised by John H. Oster and Verne E. Harding at $6,700 and Mr. Baltz filed $14,000 additional bond with S. P. Becker and Mr. Oster as sureties. The Auburn State bank, receiver of the Thomas Exchange bank of Corunna, holds a mortgage on the land and another is held by the state of Indiana. A match she struck while sorting fruit in the basement of her home set fire to the clothing of Mrs. Clarence Stuck of Union City, Ind., and caused burns from which she died five hours later. Her husband found her sitting on the cellar steps, the clothing having been burned from her body. It is believed that she had been burned about two hours before she was found. Prosecutor Milo Thompson of Anola, has advertised a public sale of the property of the victim of the murder in Steuben county in August, to be held on Nov. 10. There are some fancy pajamas and underwear in the lot, a fine traveling bag and the death car. A judgment of $60 for rent has been entered in the DeKalb circuit court in favor of Jack M. Beams against Walter Zonker and Henry Krabill. The court had been holding the cause under advisement.
