the ball entering the head about
midway between the eye and ear,
and passing through below the brain
and lodging in the outer bone on the
other side. A young fellow from
Canada, an employee, had been
shooting at a mark with a small re-
volver and in some unknown manner
one of the children who was near re-
ceived the bullet from the last cham
