cidentally by boy named Robert Mil
Ter in a field near Johnsons patch, on

cal condition at her home, No. 13 Park
er street, North Scranton.
The attending physicians said last
night she might not live till morning.
The bullet struck her in the bosom,
but was checked by a rib and the
wound was considered to be only trivial.
After being in the Lackawanna hospi
tai for two weeks she was discharged
and went home to be cared for further
by her family physician. All danger
of results had apparently passed, but
the symptoms, it seems, We're mislead-
ing, for a week ago, blood poisoning

of death.
The shooting was a rather peculiar
accident. Mrs. Kelly in company with
a neighbor went to see man in John
sons patch for the purpose of renting
a house. The man was not at home
and the two sat down in field near the
house to await his return. While seat
ed there in the dark, young Miller hap
pened along the Erie track with a flo
bert rifle and fired a shot at some mark
or other. The bullet missed the mark
and sped on into the field. striking Mrs.
Kelly. The boy heard her scream and
ran to inquire what had happened.
When he realized that he had shot a
woman he disappeared, but afterwards
disclosed himself.
