A POLICEMAN
MANNED BY HIS
OWN WEAPON
REVOLVER FELT FLOOR WHEN
OFFICER COWART REMOVED
scABBARD AND SHOT ENTERED
LEG ABOVE ANKLE.

H. A. Cowart, one of the best-known
of police officers who was on duty
until 8 O'CLOCK last night, suffered from
an accident when he reached his home
that will probably go very badly with
him.
The officer was removing his cloth
ing after he reached his home. He re-
sides on North Seventh avenue with
wife and children. AS he unbuckled
his scabbard his revolver, 3S-calibre
one, loosened and fell to the floor. Ons
shot was discharged and the bullet
entered Mr.. Cowart's leg, just above
the ankle, badly SCATTERING one bone
and fracturing the other, producing a
wound which, besides giving much
pain, was pronounced of an exceed
ingly serious nature.
DR.. Bruce was summoned and
dressed the wound, making him as
comfortable as possible. About mid
night a report from his home stated
that he was getting along as well as
could be expected.
