The Result of Careless Rifle Practice by
Students.
PROVIDENCE, March eth daughter of
Professor Williams, of Brown University,
narrowly escaped being shot the other day
while in her fathers house on Gushing st.
BY stray bulle. from the rifle of young
man in attendance upon the college. The
College boys of late have been amusing
themselves at rifle practice. They sit in
their room and fire from the windows at
objects within convenient distance. That
the firing has been extremely reckless is
attested by the experience of several passeTs-
by, who have heard the balls whistlIng past
uncomfortably close 10 their ears.
Miss Williams. at the time of the shoot
ing. was in the bath room. A ball suddenly
crashed through the window, tore the
drapery and lodged in the opposite wall.
The young lady was of course, frightened,
but was unhurt. Had she been triie taller
the course of the bullet showed that she
could not have escaped the shot. The
names of the students are known aud they
will undoubtedly be called to account for
their recklessneSs. Professor Williams will
bring the matter before the faculty.
