snakes alone and hurried for a doc
tor, who cauterized the wound Mr..

day by Peter Slocovitch. boy Of his
own age. whose home is at Ninth and

clared by Slocovitch to have been ac-
cidental, q revolver being discharged
while he was cleaning it in a vacant
lot at Adeline and Twenty-second
streets.
The bullet struck Kirchner in the
stomach, but owing to the angle at
which 1t was fred did not penetrate In
a direct line. 1t tore through the flesh
and muscles of the right side, and,
penetrating the liver, lodged In tho
back. The wound. while dangerous, is
not believed to be fatal. The wounded
boy was removed to the receiving hos
pital and later taken to the Providence
hospital. Siocovitch was taken into
custody by the police, but as his story
of the shooting was corroborated by
Eddie Britton, who lives at $40 Lydia
street he probably will be released.
Slocovitch said that he had begun
cleaning the revolver. which he be-
lieved was empty, when a cartridge
which had been left in the weapon
was discharged. Kirchner was watch
