Walbert o( 304 South Peach street was con fined in Community hospital to day with shot wounds he suf fered in a pheasant-hunting ac cident yesterday in the Table Rock district. His attending physician said a considerable amount of shot had struck his left hand and left leg but that he wasn't seriously injured. Mr. Walbert was hunting in a party which included O. R. Fritz, Clifford O. Wheelock and his sun, Earl, and Eugene Gilpin, all of Medford. According to a member of the party the gun being used by Gilpin accidental ly discharged, after a bird had been winged, and the shot struck Walbert, standing about u icet distant, the mens au tomobile, parked about a half mile from the scene, was brought to the point of the acci dent and Walbert was placed In it and taken to the hospital. The discharge of the gun was purely accidental, members of the party stated, and added that Gilpin had rented the gun Sat urday evening prior to the hunt ing trip. Walbert's physician ssid that some of the shot had gone through his hand, but that he wouldn't lose the use of the member. The shot in his leg was fairly deep, the doctor stated, but no serious aftermath was an ticipated unless the tendons were struck. Jack Porter of the Porter Lumber company laughed at reports today that he had re ceived a serious dose of "lead poisoning" in the form of stray birdshot while hunting quail yesterday afternoon. However, he did admit that a goodly number of the tiny lead pellets struck him in the face while he was in a field in Sams Valley working his bird dog. "But they didn't hurt much," he explained. "They were pretty spent and just stung a little. Yes, I'm still caroying some of them around above one eye, but not many and they aren't caus ing me any trouble." Jack was hunting with four friends. He was in the field with his dog, while the others were scattered at different points. He explulned that ho had Just turned toward a bunch of willows when the shot struck him in the face. He said he had no idea from whoso gun the shot came. SAN JOSE PEARS San Francisco, Oct.
