Reports from Yuma state that little
boy named Charles Hitler was wounded a
few days ago by the firing of pistol
which was supposed to be empty The
little fellow was playing with the weapon
and in some manner discharged the fire.

The wound is said to be painful but not
necessarily dangerous.
Whatever may be the result it was GER
tainly very careless in those having charge
of the boy to permit him to have such
dangerous playthings as a loaded pistol.
A great many accidents of this character
are constantly occurring and too much care
can not be taken to prevent serious results.

THAT SETTLED TT.

Yesterday afternoon a young boy stood
before the circus bill board on the corner
of second avenue and 18th streets, upon
which is represented the various perfor-
mances and animals of the coming circus
and menagerie.
He was particularly impressed with the
appearance of the Hippopatami, whose
mouth did not appear unlike the opening
of navigation. Perhaps he had attended
shows in the past and had been imposed
upon, for he appeared to be incredulous as
to the river horse. Finally he approached
a man who also was adniring the pictures,
and said to him, Mister, do you think
they'll have those things, pointing to the
HippopotamD in the circus"
mo doubt of it-for the bill says this
show performs everything advertised, was
the response.
That settles it" said the boy. eff my
