MAGNET Double tragedy struck the Magnet vicinity Sunday afternoon following a pheasant hunting expedition into fields in that vicinity.
As a result of one tragedy another occurred, and Mrs. Anna Warren of Omaha and George Jones of Magnet received serious injuries.
Mrs. Warren and her three sons were visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Henkel during the opening of pheasant hunting season.
Following a day in the field the hunters returned home and in the process of putting away the shotguns a shell was fired. The charge struck Mrs. Warren on the neck and face.
Because of the seriousness of the injury she was rushed to Norfolk hospital. The car was owned by Mrs. Warren and she was accompanied by her son, Fred, and George Jones of Magnet, a neighbor of the Henkels.
After taking Mrs. Warren to the hospital they returned to Magnet. Within a few miles of their destination, their car was struck by a large machine traveling at an allegedly terrific rate of speed.
Condition of Mrs. Warren, who is in a Norfolk hospital, was described as “poor” by doctors, it is reported.
The Warren car was rolled over and nearly completely demolished. Mr. Jones received some broken ribs, a broken nose bone, cuts and bruises. His companion was only shaken up and received no serious injuries.
It is reported that the only damage to the other car was a broken wheel.
The other accidents occurred in the Magnet vicinity on opening day of the pheasant season when Henry Arp was shot in the hand and Wallace Larson was struck in the face by the same charge from a shotgun. Their injuries were reported as minor.
