The Thomas County Democrat Thomas County Thursday April 28, 1887 A serious accident befell Mr. J.O. JONES, a young man in the eastern par of the county, one day last week which may cost him his sight. While trying to force a shell in a breach loading shot gun the cartridge exploded, filling his eyes and face with powder. It is to be hoped under the careful treatment of Dr. Poff one eye if not both may be saved.--Sherman Co., Dark Horse.
