Paulina win thrown into a ntnte
of nervous excitement Hunday
evening ly the accidental shooting
of the 1 1-year old son of Leo Mil
lar. The shooting wa a toy ieh freak,
but nevertheless a reprehensible
act. It seems that the 15-year-old
hoy of Doll Kudea and tho Miller
hoy er having a good time dur
ing tie holiday playing Indian
and otherwise, making merry with
2'2-caliber riuVs. They would'ex
tract the bullet and fire blank
cartridges at each other, to the
consternation of onlooker. Tlx
boy had been warned repeatedly
of the danger of the sport but it
wa not heeded.
Bunday evening the Kades boy
and a companion were out hunting
jackrabbit and a they were coin
ing home met tieorge Iloba, the
Miller boy and another hoy driv
ing into town from where they had
been gathering lice. The Eudi
boy remarked j to hi com
panion, "Watch me care them,"
or word to that effect. He bur
ridly took the ball cartridge out
of the magazine jof the rifle and
lipped in louie blank one and
opened Oro at the three' Mated on
the wagon. Tho second cartridge
Tired contained a ball and it struck
tho Miller hoy a ,couplo of inches
above the navel, its course rang
ing upward and lodging in the base
of the left lung. J It wasjbougbt
that the boy bad received a mortal
wound and would be dead before
medical aid could be secured so
physicians were not notified until
Tuesday morning. Urs. ISelknap
and Rosenberg were summoned by
telephone and immediately left In
an auto to attend the lad. They
found by the use of a stethoscope
that no blood vessel or arteries
were injured but that the base Of
ill left lung bad been wounded.
N j probing wa done for the bullet
a tho boy was suffering no pain
and could move all part of , hi
Inxly at will. The doctor say that
If the bullet did not carry any
infectious matter, young Miller
stands a good chanc of recovery.
It will take from five to ten da)
for infectious matter to develop.
The Eade boy wa placed, under
arrest pending the result of the
injuries to the wounded tad but
Mr. and Mr. Miller completely
exonerate the Kades boy from all
blame. -The youngsters were play
mate and while they regret vert
much the accidental shooting yet
would Dot prosecute even in case
of the dalh of their son.
