Accident To A Gamekeeper At Denaby

An accident occurred on Monday last, to a Gamekeeper, named Hills, which fortunately was not attended with any serious results.

It appears that the Keeper was out shooting with Captain Greaves Brown, of Sheffield, and whilst in the act of bush-beating, a shot was accidently made in his direction, lodging in his body.

Dr. Sykes, of Mexboro’, was immediately in attendance and on late enquiry, we learn that the injured man is progressing favourably.
