Report of a sad case of accidental shooting in Roaring Creek district reached here last week. Two of James Ryan's boys were hunting. One of them was tramping over a brush fence to scare out partridges which were supposed to have hidden under it. The other was standing near by holding the gun, when in some accidental way the gun was discharged, the ball striking the boy on the fence near the navel and ranging upward. Before the boy, who held the gun, realized what had happened and got to his brother, he was dead - Elkins News. [Randolph county]
One day last week Joseph White, of Dry Fork, Randolph county, killed a rattle snake where the snow was about three feet deep. It had been brought to the surface by a tree which had been blown up by the roots.
The Baptists of Elkins have some $1,400 subscribed to a fund of $2,000 which they desire to raise for the purpose of erecting a church there. [Randolph county]
