&C. H. Cummings and John Nc

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.-Fire-arms
are dangerous playthings for children.
A little ten-year old boy of this place,
son of Sheriff Pentz, became possessed
of revolver one day last week, and
while he and some companions were
shooting with it last Saturday, ball
passed through the fieshy part of his
hand and struck another little fellow
in the side, passing through the cloth
ing and just grazing the flesh. Meth
er of the boys are much hurt, but they
were both pretty badly scared. Chill
dren should not be allowed to pur-
chase or handle such dangerous weap-
ons, as they are scarcely safe In the
hands of grown persons.-Qearfeld
Repu6licaa.
