SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR. Sunday
morning Percy Robbins aged 10, son of
Samuel l.. Robbins, was shot in the head by
his cousin Arthur Robbins, boy of about
the same age. The two were in a room to-
gether in S. l.. Robbins house in East Bel
fast and We're looking at revolver. Arthur
was handling the weapon, when by some
means it was discharged the bullet entering
Percy's head at the left ear. Physicians
made a brief examination, and finding that
the bullet had gone through the skull ceased
probing for fear of injuring the brain.
Arthur says that he did not know the weap-
on was loaded, and also that he did not III
tend to snap the hammer, or know that it
was pointed in the direction of his com
panion. Percy IS able to lie up and about
the house, and suffers but little pain from
the wound.
