HIT BY STRAY BALL
Careless Shooting After Foot Ball
Game by Some Enthusiast Wanting
to Celebrate, Causes George Wiley
to Receive Wound in Leg.

The careless use of revolver after
the close of the foot ball game at the
fair grounds late Thursday afternoon,
by some enthusiastic person
wanting to celebrate the victory. re-
suited in an injury to George Wiley,
aged Is, son of Mr.. and Mrs. +. B.
Wiley, 407 West State street.
Young Wiley, with crowd Of stu
dents, was just entering Main street
from the fair grounds entrance, in
tending to march up town with the
high school boys, who were making
known by their yells that a victory
had been won over East Des Moines.
The report of a gun was heard by sew
felt a sharp sting on his left leg. He
thought nothing of it, however, and
kept on marching. He then began to
realize a trickling sensation in his leg,
and stopped to ivestigate His trous-
ers' leg was wet with blood, and
showed a small hole. -
The lad was taken into carriage
and hurried to a Doctors office, where
the wound was dressed. The bullet
evidently from a 32-caliber revolver.
had struck the leg in the lower third,
entering from behind and trifle to
one side and, passing entirely thru the
heshy part, around the tibia, came out
in front. The course of the bullet was
indicating a glance shot. The
wound was an ugly one. altho there are
no indications at present that it will
prove serious.
