A Luckless Little Inventor.
From the OH City Derrick. !

BERTHE Hathaway, the 12-year old
son of r. j. Hathaway of Edenburg.
Pa, is bright little boy who has
charge of his fathers oil wells on a
farm. His time not being occupied
entirely and being of an inventive
turn of mind, he has been making va
rious experiments, the last of which
will probably cost him his life. Last
evening Bertie found quarter-inch
gas-pipe about three feet long. The
idea entered his mind to make gun,
and no sooner thought of than the
work was commenced. A sllcker-rod
rivet driven into one end of the pipe
for a breech-pin, hole filed just be-
low for a vent; a shapely piece of
board answered for a stock, the gas
pipe being ingeninusly fastened with
straps thereto, and the gun was made.
Powder was procured from some
source and the crude gun was loaded.
What followed we give in the boys
own words, who gave an account of
the accident this morning to his
uncle, Mr.. Il. w. Green. BERTHE said:
"After made the gun loaded it with
powder. / didn't think it would hurt
me. | held it in my hand with the
wooden end against my breast and
with the other hand touched it of
with a match. The rivet I put in for
a breach-pin suppose came back and
went into my breast where you see the
hole. AS soon as Icould / started for
the house. running and walking a part
of the way, the blood coming out ali
the time. ] got to the door, and fell
into the house, and you know the
rest.n
The rivet entered the bI asst little
above the right nipple, an | after a
careful examination of the ound the
doctor decided that the miss.e passed
through the breast bone, taking 6
downward course toward the left side
passing through the lung. DR.. Lead
enham probed the wound six inches
and failing to find the object at thi;
depth declined to go further without
medical.assistance. The distance the lac
walked after being so terribly wounded
the blood streaming therefrom, il
something remarkable. The distance
from the wells to the house is fully
fifty rods. At the latest accounts tn
boy was not dead, but is very low, anC
cannot possibly recover.
