Remarkable Accident. A Farmer Severely Wounded by a Winchester Ball Fired a Mile Away.
Pilot Grove, Tex., Feb. 6.--A very painful accident occurred to Mr. George Marshall at his home about two miles north of this place Wednesday morning. He was plowing in the field when a stray ball from the winchester of a sportsman, about one mile distance struck him in the back part of the thigh and passing almost through, lodged just under the femoral artery, inflicting a very painful, if not dangerous wound.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT
Whitewright, Tex., Feb. 9.--Yesterday Rome Roberts shot at a hawk on his yard fence with a winchester rifle. The bullet missed the hawk and penetrated the left thigh of George Marshall, who was at work in his field one mile distant. Mr. Roberts came to town and carried out
a physician to extricate the ball. Mr. Marshall's wound is quite painful, but not serious.
