.LAMBERTsON Is INJURED
ASLEEP IN CAMP NEAR NkCoZARI WHEN WINCHESTER MYsTE-
 RIoUsLY ExPLODEc.

Tim I.ambertson was mysterious1y wounded on Thursday night last at his mining camp near Nacozari by the cause for which cannot be sltiSractor- fly explained
 MT. LamberIson returned home Sat urday on the train, carryin ' his right arm in a sling, and it will be some time before he will have the free use of his arm again. In eXl laining the cause of his injury Mir. Lambertson indicated that he was yet ln doubt as to what caused the explosion of his Winchester, which was resting near his side while he slept in camp on Thursday night last.
 My partner and mys f had been surveying some of the r ming claims at my camp seven miles ast Of Naco- Zari on Thursday, and len we came back to camp we were ' ry tired and got into our blankets e; '!y," said MT. Lambertson. Some tiT@ in the night was awakened by SlOck and an explosion, which told mo that someone had fired on the camp. At the same time I felt a sting near the elbow of my right arm and soon celt the blood running from the wound.
 My partner and I be..eved that we had been fired upon by bandits of some kind. Being in . wild country l had placed my gun near my head on | lying down, so as to have it within reach should anything occur before morning. On being awakened my partner and I both grabbed our guns l found that my gun would not work I of f1 ;r | readiness for firing.
 My partner insisted that the shot l had been fired from the side of a mountain near by. I was of the i'm pression, without knowing why, that the shot had come from lower ground l suggested that my partner watch the ! hill, while watched the lower ground l Finding my gun out of action, I had secured my six shooter as a means of defense.
 | For several minutes We sat there holding our guns and expecting to re l ceive another shot from some direc tion. My arm was bleeding profuse | ly. and no other thought entered oul minds than that we had been attacked by some one bent on murder and rob bery.
 i As the minutes passed we began to wonder that we heard nothing ol saw no signs of the attacking party Finally. we began to talk about wha had happened, and securing our shoes put them on and gradually relaxed | our vigilance. Leaving the camp ws went some distance into an open anc l level space. Here We made a ligh | and on examination found that my gun had been completely wrecked. The mechanism for throwing cartridges il and out of the gun was broken and tht hammer driven back. Part of the Ioa, had been forced from the side of Ih, gun, leaving part of the cartridge il the end of the barrel. Finally it dawn ed upon us that my arm had been hur by the premature discharge of tn,
 wrecked gun. Going back to camp
 We found that a hole had been mad, ln the blankets at the point where tn, gun lay by my side. I presume tha the explosion was spontaneous"
 The wound received by Mir. Lam
 bersOn is not a serious one. Tn
 bone was not broken, but the flesl
 was badly lacerated.
