SHoT.-A. d. Tressler shot himself
while out hunting yesterday. He had
started out to look for some stray hogs,
going on horseback and taking a double
barrelled shotgun along, thinking to
shoot some game, but did not expect to
bag anything quite so heavy. He had
gone down by the river, in Mr.. Lambert's
timber, a mile and a half from town,
where he had shot a squirrel-one cap
swapping without the gun going off,
he fired the other barrel. After killing
the squirrel he went to load the one bar
rel, when the other went off, the load
fortunately, the gun was in such
position rs to cause only flesh wound
The flesh is torn out about the size and
depth of a small sized blacking box, but
is torn and burned for perhaps six inches
in length. He was fortunately able to
get on his horse and ride home, but he
could not have done it an hour or two
later. DIR. T. Arthur Wright dressed the
wound, taking out quite lot of wad
ding and shot. This was a close call for
Abe, but unless inflammation should set
in he will likely be about again in
couple of weeks. KENO.
