Mile to Assistance.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
OLYMPIA, Jan. "a distressing accident
occurred near this city this morning. in
which Frank Oades. boy. 10 years OF
age, was the victim. The little fellow. who
is fond of hunting, recently procured gun
and left his home in the city to try 1t.
He went to point two miles east Of town.
and while standing on a log with his gun
in his hand slipped and fell. The hammer
of the gun. struck the log when the boy
fell and the contents were discharged,
striking him in the left stomach.
The point where the boy was shot is iso-
lated, and with rare courage In one 80
young he began a labored and tortuous
Journey to the nearest house, a mile and
half away. Most of the distance he was
compelled to crawl, and 1t was four hours
before he dragged himself to the door OF
a family living on the eastern limits OF the
town. He was Immediately taken in and
a physician was sent for. 1t Is not thought
he can recover.
The boy seems to be singularly unfortu-
nate with guns. as this Is the third some
what similar accident he has sustained
while hunting.
