PASADENA, April 21-(Regular Cor
respondence) Martin King, who lives
with his alSnt, Mrs. M. j. McCaldln' on
South Los Robles avenue, accidentally
shot himself in the mouth this morning
while handling a revolver. The paii'
after entering his mouth, ranged up
ward, making a serious wound. The
revolver was supposed to be unloaded,
but contained one cartridge. King was
taken to DIR. Hodges hospital by DR..
Deacon. and for time the wound could
not be probed without danger. The
ball lodged in the jaw, and the young
man was kept very quiet for time.
He was able to speak, and the chances
are very fair for his recovery unless
hemorrhage takes place. The bullet is
located in the jaw, and no attempt Will
he made yet to probe for it.
