CORSET SAVES LIFE In
A PECULIAR MANNER

A most unfortunate accident oc-
Cured at Hugo last Friday morning
when Mrs. w. II. Henry was acct
dentally shot by Clarence Chaplin, a
young man about Is years OF age.
Mrs. Henry, Mrs, Chaplin and Mrs,
]. p Kenny, of Hugo, were on their
way to the old Triplett cherry or
chard at about o'clock in the
morning and as they came around a
turn in the road a shot was fired
the bullet striking a steel in the
front Of Mrs. Henry's corset, which
turned It in It's course the ball graz
ing the left side, making a flesh
wound II Is alleged that the Chaplin
boy, who, however, is no relation to
the Mrs. Chaplin Of the party men
toned, was shooting at a dog belong
ing to Mrs. Chaplin, which he had said
he intended to kill, but the young
man AYERS he was shooting, Mt a
squirrel in a tree by the roadside
when the ladies came around the
bend in the road and Mrs. Henry re-
ceived the shot intended for the ami
NAL The wound was not thonght to
be dangerous, although very pain
full. but on Monday morning as there
appeared to be symptoms Of blood
poisoning. Mrs. Henry was brought
10 this city by her daughters, Mrs
Harry Schmidt and Miss Helen
Henry. and WAS taken to the home OF
the former for medical treatment
The wound was dressed and Mrs
Henry is progressing nicely and II Is
thought she will be able to return q
her home at Hugo In few days
The shooting was done with a 3s
caliber revolver. and had II not beer
for the peculiar circumstance OF the
ball striking the corset steel, 4
would have passed directly through
the abdomen, and undoubtedly hav,
caused death.
