WERE NOT
SERIOUS
The Shot Fails to Awaken
Sleeper Wounded Man
Brought Home

Tom Burk, Deputy United States
marshall. was the victim Of a very pc
culiar accident Sunday morning at
Duncan when he shot himself through
the face while dreaming he was
shooting another fellow.
The peculiar feature CONCERNING the
accident is that Mr.. Burk was not
awakened BY the shot.
For the past six days Marshall Burk
has been ia the vicinity Of Duncan
serving papers for the United States
court. Sunday morning he went to
Duncan aud secured bed He was
very tired. worn out physically and
mentally and WAS sleeping late. An
other man occupied the same room
and he'd with him.
During q dream in which Mr. Burs
was mentally tracking a bad man he
drew his automatic 3s-callber gun
and fired. He was asleep At the
time and the report Of the gun did
not awaken him The man who was
with him heard Mr. Burk say, There
is the man--shoCs him." and the re-.
r. rt OF he pistol followed. Hs
arose. turned on the electric light and
discovered that Mr.. Burk had shot
himself He was very much frghten-
ed until he found that AIr, Burk was
aleep.
The bullet passed through Mr.
Burk's chin. entering the face from
the lower right side Of the chin and
jaw and ranging across the chin to
the left side and coming out near
the left corner OF the mouth. A very
ugly wound was made but It Is not
considered dangerous BY Or. Leeds
who dressed the injuries. III infee'
ton does not develop the would VIII
heal quickly" said the doctor.
Mrs. Burk and son VIII we're sum
moned to Duncan and brought Mr
Burk home yesterday afternoon Hs
is now at home 4o5 Iowa avenue.
That the shot failed to awaken
the sleeper seems incredible but SC
it is reported.

pipes which we're melted by the hea

done to check the flames until th'
gas cc-.d 5e shut off. The gas pipe
melted in the dining room and

MILITARY SNoBBISHNESS

young lady being snubbed' at a Naval Academy dance because she w
at that time acting as a governess in a family. They did not know that
she was also the daughter Of a Yale professor. Now comes the Secre-
tay OF the navy and is willing to apologize to the young woman be-
cause OF a misunderstanding Of her status" Does that explain any
;hing? Would the Secretary OF the Navy say there a a msunder-
standing OF her status" had she been the daughter OF a hod carrier?

in its development where its shallow votaries are above assocnting with
