William Peck shot himself across
the back of the hips Jan. 1st while

was expected to pass and slipped upon
some ice and fell. The shotgun fell
from his hand and exploded as it fell.
Mr.. Peck fell upon the gun and, al
though he realized that he had been
hurt somewhat in the fall, did not
know that he was wounded. In a

on fire in the back, and further in

running down his legs to his feet.

being the nearest village. The in

confine Mr.. Peck to the house.
