A small boy living on Lincoln street,
Wilmington, accidentally shot himself
while handing Il revolver to his compan-
ion The ball entered the body just
above the stomach and struck the lungs.
The condition of the boy is very critical.

must carry revolvers. But if they must
carry dangerous weapons, they must
suffer the result. Parents should be care
full that none of their boys 1--WE mean
those who have children) carry reyoly-
err. 1t is dangerous.
