J. B. Horne, of Monticello, Fla., Jefferson county’s tax collector, had his left arm shattered so badly by the accidental discharge of a shot gun Tuesday night of last week that amputation was found necessary. Mr. Horne had been hunting in the afternoon and a shell became stuck in the barrel of the gun. He drove his machine to the Star Café to get a rod with which to push the shell out. As he took the gun from his auto it discharged, so mutilating his left arm that only two pieces of skin were holding. He was assisted to Simmon’s drug store, doctors were summoned and arrangements made to take him home. Drs. Glover, Williams and Brinson all responded to the call an decided that immediate amputation was the only thing possible, as all that was necessary was to cut the pieces of skin that were holding.
