BROTHER
AND COMPANION
GUN IS DISCHARGED BY AN
ACCIDENT
PROBABLY FATALLY INJURED
Children Playing In Coin Home, When
Trigger Snapped and the Load
Struck Victims In Head
and Face
PROBABLY FATALLY INJURED

While at play yesterday afternoon,
Claudine Coin accidentally shot land
probably fatally injured Raymond
Coin, her 14-year-old brother, and
Mabel Cooper, ten years old.
The children were playing with a
loaded shot gun in the Coin home at
2733 West Semple street, Claudine han
ding the gun. In some manner she
pulled the trigger and the shot struck
her brother and companion in the face
and head.
William Cooper, sixteen years old,
was in the room when the children be-
gan playing with the gun and attempt
ed to take 1t away from Claudine, but
was too late, 1t being discharged be-
fore he could get hold Of It.
The report Of the gun and the
screams Of the children attracted the
family and neighbors and the injured
children were sent to the emergency
hospital.
An examination of their injuries dis
closed the fact that the wounds Will
in all probability prove fatal.
The boy was Immediately operated
upon by DR.. Quint and Bonynge, and,
though conscious, he submitted to the
painful cutting and probing with the
courage of man. He was later given
an anaesthetic and his left eye was
removed.
The surgeons say that although his
case is by no means a hopeless one,
there is but slight chance for his re-
covery.
The girl Jared worse than the boy
and her condition is even more critical
than his. 1t was found that fully
twelve shot had entered her head and
lodged in the brain. She Is par
alyzed on the left side of her body and
remains unconscious. The shot were
removed from her brain at the hospital
and she was later taken to the chill
drens hospital, where she was oper-
ated upon at $50 o'clock last night.
For two hours and a half the sur
geons worked over the little girl In the
hope Of saving her life. A section Of
her skull two inches in diameter was
taken from over her right temple and
several Of the shot imbedded In the
brain were removed. Owing to severe
hemorrhage, all the shot were not
removed and 1t is believed by the sur
geons that at least half a dozen re-
main imbedded in the brain. At mid
night the girl had regained conscious
ness for the first time since the acci-
dent occurred and the attending sur
geons say they believe there is pos
sible change Of her recovery.
Little Claudine is prostrated at the
realization Of the awful deed. 1t is
said that she had been in the habit of
toying with firearms and had become
familiar with the use of them.

COTTON MARKET QUIET
AND DEVOID OF FEATURES

NEW YORK, March 4.-The cotton
market today was very quiet, and devoid
OF any particularly new features. Trad
Ing was light and chiefly of a local pro-
fessional character, with fluctuations
narrow and unimportant- The amount
of the crop for the week was much
heavier than had been expected, but
this was Offset by the continued firm
ness of the Southern spot markets and
the continued good trade reports from
Manchester and the prevalence of a
good demand from some New England
spinners.
The market today was quiet and firm
throughout the session. Prices sold off
to points in the early trading, hut
later recovered this and advanced TO 4
points on further covering of shorts
and absence of any selling pressure of
importance.
The days prices follow: March. 1910

LATE BUYING AGGRESSIVE

NEW YORK, March Ain -he early
dealings today the market was inclined
to irreguiarity and slight heaviness.
Traders appeared disposed to close out
accounts for a number of reasons. Some
apprehension was still felt lest the
Presidents inaugural address today
should be somewhat disturbing in deal
ing witt the current questions OF the
hour.
An unfavorabIe bank statement was
also forecast and there was feeling
of uncertainty with regard to possib1l-
ities involved in the internal and ex-
ternal affairs of Russia. Notwithstand-
ing this array Of adverse influence no
important declines took place.
Later buying became more aggressive
and sharp advance developed in late
dealings Leadership was resumed by
New York Central and Union PACING,
the former advancing over ana the
latter nearly per cent.
The movement in Southern iron stocks
was less nervous than earlier In the
week and indicated more of a belief that
within a reasonable time the plans 1or
the merger would be well adjusted.
