Albert Teal of Lcland was shot by his brother William in the forests of Northern Josephine county last Fri day. The shooting was accidental, William mistaking his brother for a door, shooting him with a Winches ter, the ball penetrating tho right thigh, inflicting a very serious wound. Tho two men were out hunting in tho mountains of Gravo creek and were walking through tho heavily timbered region, ouo on each side of a gulch. William Teal saw au object moving np the distant mountain side which he supposed waa a deer. He fired at it and was horrified to hear his brother scream in pain. Ho rush .ed across and found that he had made a sad mistake he had shot his broth er. There was no one near, the closest houso being (some miles distant. He secured aid as quickly as possible and tho wounded nmu was carried out of the mountains, a distance of six miles. Albert Teal waa brought to Grants Pass on Saturday morning's train for medical treatment He suffered much from the loss of blood. The physi cians were unable to locate tho bullet, but they feel confident that the wound ed man will recover unless some com plications arise later on that are not known at the present time.
