    3. BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, NOV. 23, 1900 Sherman JONES arrived home Sunday morning from Cedar Lake, where he has been working with the bridge carpenters on the Monon. He informed us of a very narrow escape he had from death Saturday evening. He had changed his clothes and got out of the carpenters' tool car and started down the track toward the station, when he notice two hunters coming toward him through the woods, and in attempting to climb through a wire fence, one of their guns was accidentally discharged. The charge of shot just grazed JONES' hair, and one of the shots buried itself in his head. He had a physician to extract the shot yesterday – Democrat.
