Richard 0wings, son of Jonathan Owings,
met with very severe accident on Tuesday
afternoon at Washington Reese's. While
sitting down upon hen coop, with the muzzle
of his gun against his right side and under his
right arm, with the stock removed a little to
the right of his right foot on the ground, and
looking over his left shoulder at John Will
liams loading his gun, for some reason, as yet
unegplainable, the contents of young Owings
gun we're discharged. The load tore a hole
through his overeoat, dress coat, vest and all
as it went. The load, together with the torn
part of the clothing, became wrapped in one
mass, and took effect upon the outer surface
of the ribs, and passed on to the frontal bone
of the right shoulder blade, which was little
elevated at the time by the arm being up, and
lodged therein, after taking an inward turn.
DR.. James P. Summers was summoned i'm
diately, and extracted the wadding and shot
and dressed the wound, which was about I or
inches long. Mr.. 0wings is doing well
under the circumstances.
