A crash of glass called Ex-Gov Per-
hams family to the parlor one day last
week, where an examination showed
that a bullet had entered the room
through a window. The direction of
the bullet gave clew to its starting
point and further investigation establish
ed the fact that few small boys had
been making very careless use of rifle,
in fact firing at random with no thought
nor intention of doing injury. The re-
suit might have been more serious, as
only little while before, a guest of the
family had been sitting in front of the
window where the bullet entered. This
ought to be lesson to both small and
large boys to handle firearms with great
care or not to handle them.
