SHOT AROUND A CORNER.
Peculiar aud sad Accident which Hap
pcncd on the Durmore Rifle Range.


Wesley Webber, the 12-year-old SON
Of Richard >Webbcr, of Center street,
Dunmore, was accidentally shot through
the body by William Potter while prac-
ticing at target Saturday afternoon.
1t is not thought. however, that the
wound will prove serious.
Between Apple avenue and Drinker
street are a number of vacant lots,
which are used by some of the crack
shots for u practice range. On Satur-
day afternoon II. NJ. Spencer, William
Potter. Edward Washer and Howard
Spencer We're practicing and had hired
young Webber to mark the target. The
target itself is backed with an EN-
bankment of earth and planks several
feet deep.
At right angles with the target is
little shanty for the protection of the
marker Webber was in this when the
bullet struck him. Just how it struck
him with sufficient force to enter his
body is not yet explained. One theory
Is that the bullet struck a. stone or
some other hard substance and glanc-
ing off entered the door at the side
of the shanty and thus struck the boy.
The men did not know that anything
unusual had happened and were sur
prised to see the Webber lad running
up the field towards them. About half
way up the range, which Is 200 yards
distance the boy fell, and as he did
not rise the shooters ran forward to
discover what allied him. When 1t was
seen that he was shot he was hurriedly
conveyed to his home on Center street,
where Doctors Chamberlain, Garvey,
Brown and Murphy We're summoned.
They were preparing to probe for the
bullet when, on removing his coat. it
fell to the floor. 1t was of 32 calibre
and had passed clear through the body.
entering between the eighth and Ninth
ribs and coming out at the back. The
boy shows no serious symptoms, and
the belief of his physicians Is that he
will undoubtedly recover.
Mr. Potter, who fired the shot which
hit the lad, greatly deplored the acc-
dent, as do also the other men, who
were at the range. The boys relatives
attach no blame to any one for the
accident,

1T PAID THEM TO KICK.
Bright aud Love win Get $1,000 Dam
ages from the CITY.


The claim of William Bright and Will
liam Love for damages resulting froin
the construction of Il sewer through the
private alley. between their properties
in Providence. was, on Saturday ad-
iusted at II conference between the in
iured parties and City Solicitor Torrey
and City Engineer Phillips. They
agreed to accept 81 600. which Is $500
less than was at first demanded. This
proposition will not have to go to coun-
ellis as a resolution is now on passage
granting to the city officials above
mentioned the power TO effect settle
ment.
The affair out Of which the claim
for damages grew created much inter-
est at the time. The alley in question
is u private one. but has been given
name-Brights court-and appears on
the maps of the city "a an open thor
oughfare. City Engineer Phillips, In
planning the North End sewer, de-
signed to have the outlet through TINS
alley. When his men went on the
ground to give the lines for the con-
tractors, Flannaghan & Hara, they
were ordered off, and the stakes Whlch
had been driven were dug up. An IN
junction restraining Messrs. Bright
and Love from interfering with the
work was issued but they paid no heed
to it, AS often as stakes were driven
they would dig them up and hanaily
it was found necessary to place Mr..
Bright under arrest.
This did not break their determina-
ton to protect their rights, and 1t Is
likely that they would have continued
hostilities had not Mayor Connell vis-
tied them and gave them assurance
that they would be indemnified for any
loss which they might sustain. This
was all they desired and no further
interference occurred. Their principal
reason for claiming damages lies in
the fact that entrance to their respec-
tive blacksmith shops was barred while
the sewer was being built.
