Parties.

Rodney Bowman was accidentally
shot by a 22-calibre rifle in the bands
of Mrs. Bowman at his home near
Ballston last week. Mr. and Mrs.
Bowman had been out hunting and
upon their return to the bouse Mrs.

and while doing so, it was accidentally
discharged, the bullet entering Mr.
Bowman's leg above the knee, passing

out at the thigh a foot above the point

will result. Sheridan Sun.
