Tho bullet entered the head between and slightly above the eyes. At tending physicians said it probably had penetrated tho skull. Local physicians wore called immediately and after administering first aid treatment ordered the lad to a hospital. The Braswell and Booker boys were playing with a boy named Gover, near tho residence of tho Cover boy’s grandmother, Mrs. D. J. Gover, in tho south part of the city They had been firing at a target when tho Braswell boy called to Booker, who had tho gun, asking him not to fire any more. Tho Gover lad grasped tho gun from behind Booker’s back and as the muzzle of tho gun was raised it was discharged, the bullet strik ing Braswell at a range of about five paces. When physicians arrived tho wounded lad was unconscious and in convulsions. He was taken to a Eugene hospital in the Mills ambulance. Tho doctors stated thero was slight hopo that the skull had deflected tho bullet. The wounded boy is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Loo Braswoll. nis mother accompanied him to Eugene. Deputy Sheriff Greon Pitcher, immediately following tho shooting, took tho gun which tho boys woro using and one belonging to tho Gover lad. Ho stated ho had re peatedly warned tho boys and other youths about firing rifles inside tho city. Accidents have been .narrowly averted in one or two cases beforo, ho said. Brief Illness Fatal.
