An accidental shooting occurred

the game for all were paralyzed with
friuht nt the sound of a real gun
and after detecting the damage done
the alarm was given that Jimmy
Neal had shot Davy Good. Doctors
were quickly summoned and the bul
let was removed. The bullet entered
the front of the shoulder and pene
trated through to the skin in the
back. Drs. Hewitt and Mclntyre re
moved the missile and the little boy

abrogating it. it was nevertheless
felt that what was needed was elim

Ideas the company agreed and tne

Plans for the selection of a site for
the proposed Carnegie library were
discussed at an adjourned meeting of
the city council last night and It wai
finally decided to hold a meeting to
night to decide what to do. The li
brary committee through Chairman
Tracy Staats reported that the con
tract for the construction of the
building had been awarded to Holmea
& Grant' and for the heating ar
rangements to Guy Bros., but the
committee also recommended that
the ritv hall site be abandoned and
that arrangements be made it pos
sible to secure a site elsewhere. The
report was adopted and the council
rVma wpnr on record as favoring a
new location. The advisability of
enillna- a sneclal election to bona in
city for not to exceed $3,000 for the
n.,mhA of a site was discussed anu
that phase of the matter will be de-
. . ml.,. ma
elded at tonight's meeting.
appears to be some objection among
Dallas people to this method al
though a great majority apparently
favor some other site than that first
proposed at the city hall corner. It
Is certain, as pointed out by those
favoring the bonds that, on the as
sessed valuation of the city the sum
of $3,000 would be inconBequental
and would not Increase anyone's
taxes to a noticeable extent. The
only alternative. In the event that
the bonding plan be turned down, l
