The ID year old son of County
Treasurer Mason was accidentally
shot on Sunday by younger brother
while they were playing. 1t seems
the younger boy had an old pistol
which he had snapped several times,
al an imaginary burglar, and that
Frank entered the room just as the
revolver turned to a chamber in
which was a bullet. The bullet
struck him in the face on the left
side of the nose taking a downward
course, lodging somewhere in the
back of his neck. The doctors were
unable to locate the ball. The boy
will probably recover if blood poison
ing does not set in.
