citement again reigned throughout
the neighborhood and the most
caustic criticism was directed
toward the man who had given his
boy, or permitted him to have d re-
volver which fired a revolver big
enough TO kill bear. And the
question naturally suggests itself:
will this fatality, following so close
lv upon the heels of the other one,
enlarge the bump of parental eau
ton in this particular vicinity?
*x*
Since the above was written an
other life has been sacrificed on the
altar of juvenile carelessness with
f-earms. The boy in this case lived
near the Northern Pacific shops,
about midway between Hamline and
Como Park He was ID years old
and senior in the St. Paul Central
high school. He purchased rifle
without the knowledge of his par
ents and kept it hidden from them.
On Sunday, after church, he and
three other boys "sneaked the
rifle and started for mudhen hunt.
Becoming weary they reclined on
the shady grass to rest. Thea boy
with the gun drew the end of the
barrel to his side, and while talk
ing unconsciously played with the
trigger. The weapon was finally
discharged and bullet went tear
ing into his abdomen, fairly riddling
his intestines. He died in about
ten minutes. This case differs
from the ones previously mentioned
in two particulars. First, the gun
was not given to the boy by the
| father. The latter did not know
that his son was the owner of the
gun until he had been told OF the
accident. Second, the boy himself,
and not an innocent bystander, was
the victim of his carelessness. Next!
