Bert Porter, IL years old, having a riff

rirhf NJ

and Gaines were summoned, who check
= the flow OF blood and sent for Dr. Guild
Hanover, who came and performed an @
Grafton, assisted by DR.. Longe, who NJ
has charge of the case. The boy is hol
- ing his own, although very dangerous
wounded. 1t seems the Porter boy we
, to a store to get cartridges, but tt
would not sell him any without an orr
- N from his parents. 1t seems then, that
Ills lad went nome anu nau al olue' nloue
r en- W I9e niieu s iii' pu- ~ D w
from his people, and by this means he (
tanned the cartridges. 1t is not yet deciC
=, what will be done about prosecuting
-, responsible party, but an example sho
be made of the boy who had no busin
w to have rifle.
