Mysterious Shooting at Newport.
Blaine Gotta, son of Homer Gotta of
West Derby, while fishing Saturday,
May 9, was struck by a stray rifle ball,
the bullet penetrating the boys head
just back of and above the ear, and
coming out in the neck, barely missing
the jugular vein. He was attended by
DR.. Adams and is still alive, though
in a critical condition. Where the bull
let came from is mystery as no re-
port of the gun was heard. So far as
is known the person firing the gun
might have been miles away. In
these days of long distance weapons
too much care cannot be taken regard
ing their use. With many of these
guns in the hands of boys and mex
perienced men, the wonder is that nc
more accidents occur.
