BULLET ACCIDENTALLY
STRIKES YOUNG GIRL
WHILE OUT WALKING

While walking on the road in the
vicinity of the Rapids, Miss Anna
Halberg, school teacher, was shot in the
arm. 1t was about o'clock in the
evening. Just who fired the bullet is
not known but the theory is it was an
accident. 1t is not supposed that any
one was malicious enough to fire at an
innocent girl. but instead someone was
recklessly shooting off a frearm and that
the bullet accidentally struck the young
lady.
Miss Halberg was not seriously
injured. She is 1S years old and is a
daughter of Jens Halberg, a Mishicot
farmer.
