shooting scrape occurred at Oaktown late
Sunday afternoon, in which James Shepard,
sixteen years old, fatally wounded his little
sister Jennie aged ten, by shooting her with
a 32-caliber revolver. Young Shepard had
been hunting sparrows, and when he re-
turned home he laughingly said to his sis
ter: Il guess I'll shoot you She replied:
mo, you won't; you are afraid" He pulled
the trigger and his sister fell. the ball en-
tering her left breast just above the heart,
passing through the body, coming out un-
der the left arm Young Shepard, realiz-
ing what had happened, placed the revolver
to his head, declaring he would blow out
his own brains. He pulled the trigger, but
the revolver failed to GO off, and before a
second attempt it was wrenched from his
hand. He says that he thought the gun con-
tanned a blank cartridge, and was crazed
when he realized that he had shot his little
sister. The little girl was reported dying

Fell from the Balcony.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-James Gadvin, four
teen years of age, leaned too far over the
balcony railing in Hopknss Theater to-
night, and as result he went laundering
down among the people in the parquet.
How he missed falling upon somebody is
wonder, but he went straight down between
two rows of seats and touched nothing but
the floor. He touched this first with the
top of his head and then with his shoulders.
Luck was with him to the last, however,
and he suffered nothing more serious than
a cash on the head. He was taken to the
hospital and will recover.
