mile southwest of Duflield. Mr..
Graf is a laborer and recently
purchased for his children tar
get rifle. The firearm is of ate
pattern, being a ham mmerless gun.
About 4 o'clock, Sunday after.
noon. the boy was showing the
gun to his mother, and ia some
way, pulled the trigger, when the
gun vas discharged and the boy
was horrlhed to see his mother
fall to the floor. 1t was seen
that she was seriously injured,
as the blood was flowing from
her breast, the ball having enter
ed her side near the short ribs
and came out of her breast evld-
emily piercing her heart on it's
passage.
