Show SHOT THROUGH THE HAND. While Hllklnc a Cow, A Boy In IV o Hud ml Bj a Spent Ball. Quite an uncommon shooting accident occurred in the fields west of town last Saturday. A son of Andreas Larsen was the victim. The boy went out early in the morning to milk the cows, lvhich were only a few rods from the house. He sat down and began milking as usual. Suddenly he felt bis hand pierced as by some sharp missil and directly heard the sharp crack of a rifle; he had been shot through the hand by a 22-caliber ritle in -the hands of some one in a neighboring field. The blood streamed down and the lad ran to the house in fright. The wound was dressed, and it is now healing rapidly. Who the shooter was is yet a mystery. Some think it the work of a mischievous bo' who took the cow for a capital target. Others think it was purely accidental. |
