Shooting of James Lewis Gophejr Gun
Figured Was Set for SqarrreUs.
While entering the unoccupied
farm bouse on Spencer Bicltnell's
place Thursday afternoon, jjames
L. Lewis wasaccidentally sTot ; in
his right leg.'" -About 25 numter 5
shot took effect in the fleshy por
tion of the limb, mostly abovje the
knee. The weapon was a gopher
gun, set eight or ten feet'froifii the
door, and which Mr. BickrieM ex
plains, bad been set for squirrels.
He says the gun was placed rja the
middle of the room and so adj usted
that the squirrels would discharge
it if they attempted to eat ttif fcait.
The discharge of the wbapon
came as Mr. Lewis enterei
door. He is a real-estate age:
was at the farm with a pros
buyer. They had been looki
er the land, and it was piopos
enter the house. Mr. Bicknell was
not, with the party, but Mr. Lewis
had a skeleton key. Fitting jit ,to
the lock, he opened the door and
passed in, -e when a blinding,' flash
and a loud report stopped proceed
ings. A hasty examination jand a
flow of Blood f rem two fiozen
wounds in his leg showed thjkt he
had been shot. Without 'v waiting
even to examine into the cause of
the shooting, the party put Mr.
Lewis into their carriage and hur
riedly drove to Corvallis. Dry Per
not was summoned, "and with 'much
diligence and patience, he managed
to extract a dozen of the shot. -- A
further attempt at removal will be
made in a few days. No permanent
injury is expected as a result pf the
shooting. . The distance of the
weapon from the victim v was j great
enough to permit the shot to scatter
well, and no bad wound was mude.
