Seriously Wounded
Arthur L. Goddard was accident
ally shot at his home west of this
city at &c o'clock Monday night
and is IN precarious condition. He
had been out shooting rabbits with
a 81 caliber relolver in the evening
and when he came to the house he
put the loaded revolver in his hip
pocket. Upon retiring, the trous-
ers were left on the floor. Shortly
afterward Mrs. Goddard arose to
wait on the baby and upon return
ing to the bed picked up the trous.
ers and threw them toward the side
of the bed when the revolver, COM
ing in contact with the floor, was
discharged.
The bullet entered at the base of
the left shoulder on the back, pene-
trating the bone.
Drs. Gilbert and Donovan were
called and remained with him all
night, but so far have not found the
bullet. Their theory is that it has
lodged in the feshy part of the
breast, but it is possible that the
lung has been penetrated.
Last reports were that he was
resting easy and his life was not in
Immediate danger, although it can
not be foretold what might develop.
We sincerely hope that there
will be no turn for the worse.
