-Accidcnfd Shooting.

On last Thursday evening, John
Roberts, who was then with sever
al other men in camp on the horse
range, between Salmon and Snake
rivers, about forty miles from here,
accidently shot himself. He was
moving some blankets ON which
the gun was lying when the wea-
pom was discharged, the ball strik-
ing him in the side, ranging up-
ward, coming out at the shoulder.
A messenger was at once dispatch
ed to Grangeville for DIR. Bibby
who arrived ON the ground Friday /;
while the wound was found to be a
most dangerous one, it is not ne
cessarily fatal, and it is thought he
will pull through all right. Frank
McGrane had VIM. Rothwell and
VIM. Anderson at once go to the
scene of the accident to wait upon
Mr.. Roberts, and they are still
there. Wednesday DR.. Bibby,
Frank McGrane, and Mr.. Roberts,
from Moscow, a brother of John,
started to see him if on their ar
rival he is found still improving, he
will be practically out of danger.
