He addressed large number of the

We are informed by Mr. Kimsey
Lockhart, of Beersheba, that on last
Monday Mr.. Kanory eagle, son of
B. S. eagle, while repairing an old
pistol was accidently shot by a dis
charge from the pistol which he did
not know was loaded, and badly hurt.
The contents ofthe pistol passed through
his left hand and wrist and entered his
chest about two inches below his left
nipple. The ball struck a rib, but it
was thought it entered the cavity.
He was thought to be dangerously
wounded. We hope he may not be
fatally hurt.
