4 Yesterday being the thirteenth
birthday of Stanley Salter, he invitel
about forty-five of his young friends TO
come and spend the evening at his
home on Madison avenue and help
him celebrate the event. The evening
was pleasantly spent in games. Mast
er Stanley was the recipient of many
beautiful gifts from his friends. Dainty
refreshments were served. At late
hour the young people departed for
their homes declaring their host a
royal entertainer 'i--
case of boys playing with firearms
resulted in a shooting yesterday which
narrowly escaped being fatal one
greatly from those of the majority OF
similar cases. except that the boy who
received the shot was fortunate
enough to survive the accident instead
of being killed instantly.
A number of small boys were play
ing yesterday afternoon in the yard Of
Ed. Pratt, on Keota street, near the
ball grounds. In some way they haG
obtained possession of revolver and
were playing with it when it was acct
dentally discharged while in the hands
of Ray Pratt. The ball entered the
body of Grover Parks, boy of four
teen years, and struck rib at point
about two inches below the heart II
glanced off the rib and lodged in the
flesh, thus being kept from contac,
with the heart. which would have un
doubtedly caused death. AS it is the
boy will be confined to his home fol
some time, and has probably learned
lesson which will last him severa
years Drs. E. G. Barton and S. A
Spilman were called and attended tt
the injuries. The boy was taken tt
the home of his mothers about a BLOCH
! from the scane of the accident.
