Last Sunday morning, Arthur Clary,
young man living with his mother a
few miles east of town, was fooling with
revolver, from which he supposed he
had removed all the cartridges. His
mother, who was standing Just in front
of him, had stopped over to pick up
some article when the weapon was dis
charged. The bail, a 81 long, entered her
abdomen and lodged deep in the lady's
right hip. Dr. j. G. Maxwell was called
and made an examination for the bullet.
but was unable to exactly locate it. Mrs.
Clary is doing well and WILL doubtless,
recover. The doctor thinks that the
fact of her being in a STOPPING posture
was all that saved her life.
