BY FLYJNG SHOT
- Clarence E. 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.
