COTTAGE GROVE ACCIDENT Ren Sanford Shoots Himself Foot With a Stevens Target Pistol. Roy Clark of Comstock, aged 14 years, sou of Charles Clark, went bunting with a companion about the same age named Kov Watkins, last Saturday afternoon and after wandering about for a while laid down on the grass to rest. In some way young Clark pulled his gun tqward him, muzzle first and it was discharged, the bullet enter ing the lower part of the abdomen and passing out at the back. He was taken to the Eugene hospital Sunday morning, hut it was a fatal wound and he died about 7 o’clock. The body was taken in hand by l ’ndertaker Gor- den and the friends who went to Eugene with him took the remains hack on the afternoon traiu Sun day, for burial at Comstock. REN SANFORD SHOT IN .FOOT. Sunday afternoi u Ken Sanford, George Gourley and Harry Short, went for a stroll out in the vicinity of the old Jones sawmill west of town, young Sanford taking his little 22-calilier Stevens target pistol with him. A squirrel was located in a tree and Sanford cocked his pistol to take a shot at it, when the little firearm was pre maturely discharged, the hall strik ing Sauford in the top of his right foot and lodging in the bones. He was taken to a nearby stream by one of his companions, his shoe removed and wound bathed, while the other secured a horse and buggy from a nearby farm house with which to bring him to town. Oil his arrival it was thought best to take him to the Eugene hospital ou the evening train and locate the bullet' in the foot by means of the X-Rav. The bullet was readily located, but the Eu gene doctors thinking it would give him no great trouble after the wound healed, did not remove it, so the young man returned home Monday and seems to lie recovering rapidly from his injury. He has held the position of sales man in Metcalf X brand's grocery store for some time past, but will now take a forced vacation indef initely. The Kozy Korner for sweets. * FAMILY GROCERIES » .
