Shot himself instead of the rats

Luray-Main St old

October 28, 1887 — Mr. Isaac S. Comer, son of Geo. H. Comer, Esq., who lives on the Hawksbill, near Stony Man, inflicted a painful wound on the forefinger of his left hand one day last week while engaged shooting rats.

The wound was dressed by Dr. Grove, and though a serious one, we are glad to hear that amputation was not considered necessary.
