was somewhat excited and In some
way discharged his shot gun the shot
entering his fathers thigh. The shot
half turned Mr.. Hilton around when
he sighted deer and shot it. He was
two miles from any house and had to
walk and crawl this distance after
which the boy went a mile or two fur
Their to procure a team to bring his
father home. DR.. Williams was able
to extract few of the 70 shot which
entered the leg. The wound has been
very painful at times but it was re-
ported Tuesday that it was doing as

some weeks before he can resume his

worse.
