"A distressing accident took place
last Sunday evening at the stockyards
at Bentonsport, Howard Runyon being
shot and killed by John W. Warner, a
bullet from a % calibre revolver strik-
ing him In the head. Warner and
Runyor .-were good friends. and the
killing was purely accidental But IL
only goes to prove again the danger
OF handling firearms. Boys frequently
grow careless with the %; they say
the bullet is SO small 1t Will do no
harm, and they shoot with great reck-
lessness. At Bonaparte. says the Rec
ord, 1t Is noticeable that boys go ont
to the woods and shoot in any direc-
ton, 80 that frequently those who
are IN the woods for an afternoon
walk or for flowers hear the whistle
of bullet as 1t goes near them Sup
pose your boy or girl should be seri-
ougIy injured or killed by the careless
handing of g target rifle. Would the
grief of the careless boy or the re-
mark that he didn't see where he
was shooting bring back to you
your loved one?
