Guthrie, O. T.. Nov. 22.-The Shawnee

NIr. Harris says that his first impulse
was to ask the man what he wanted
and to state to him that the money and
Jewels OF the household We're in the store

flashed his gun in the fellows face and
said: Don't you move an inch. I'll

BOY WITH BULLET IN BRAIN
Unfortunate Affair Occurs at Black
well, o. Z.


Guthrie, o. r, Nov. pa most unfor-
tunate affair occurred at Blackwell Fri
day. The News says:
4 shooting affair occurred yesterday
evening about O'Clock, that in all prob
ability VIII end fatally. 1t is difficult to
get the details OF the affair. 1t seems
that a number of boys were gathered on
South Main street, two of them having
guns as the other boys say.
4 little fellow years old named Clyde
Wade, son of T. S Wade, who lives in
Of the number.
The two boys who had guns were Ivan
and Milan Hamblett. sons of a barber
who works in the shop under the First
National bank The boys were reckless,
TO say the least in the manner of hand
ling their guns.
The first demonstration, according to
the story told by the son of Q. r. Paine.
who keeps a bicycle shop in the vicinity
Is that they were amusing themselves by
shooting at the side of the shop. They
then went little farther down the
street, and Dr. Furber says they pointed
a gun at his little boy whom he made
go around the house out of danger.
Finally the boys, to the number of
probably half a dozen, were on the cor
ner. when one of the Hamblett boys
pointed the gun at the little Wade boy
thinking it was unioaded. and snapped it.
The other Hamblett boy said, so the
story goes. "Tn shoot him., and point
ing the gun at the Wade boys forehead.
fired, the ball. which was a p, penetrat-
ing the head between the eyes. The
wounded boy fell to the ground.
His mother, who lives near, and others
ran to him and picked him up and carried
him into the house. Drs. Lowery and
Furber were called and tried to find the
bullet, but were unable to do so.
While the shooting was probably not
done with the intention of killing the
boy, it looks as if it was a piece Of seri-
Gus careIessness. At the time of the
writing no arrests had been made. This
is as near a straight account of the IN
fortunate affair as could be gathered
from the conflicting stories told by the
boys present.
DR.. Lowery was seen this morning and
he stated that the bullet had gone right
through the brain and lodged in the back
Of the head He did not think the child
could live

The number Of legal voters in Okla

the 1900 census. was about 10000. The
falling off this year. if the estimate is
correct, would make the vote for dele
