BOY Is
INJURED BY GUN

While spending a days vacation at
thel W. E. Gross farm near this city,
Saturday, Arthur Jaycox. aged Is, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. 0. P. Jaycox, Divi-
sion street, suffered an injury which
came near resulting in the loss of the
sight of one eye. The lad was playing
with some companions who had a %
calibre target rifle, and when he shot
at a treel either the bullet or a splinter
of the wood rebounded and struck him
in the eye, causing dangerous
wound.
He was Immediately brought to the
city and the services Of an eye spe-
cialist engaged. But whether the eye
was injured sufficiently to destroy the
sight could not be definitely deter
mined, as it was feared the retina had
been ruptured. The littlei fellow man
ifested considerable nerve while being
brought to his home, and during the
subsequent examination to discover
the extent of his injury. His physician
announced this morning however, that
the wound is not as serious as at first
supposed, and the lad will not suffer
permanent effects.
