rife, nearly caused a second fatality

bullet wound in her left arm slightly
above the elbow, the result of being
struck by bullet while sitting in
her front yard That the shot was
fired from some distance about three
blocks from the spot where Mrs.
Jarchow was sitting, is evidenced
from the fact that none in the i'm
mediate vicinity heard the report
The bullet was a 45-calibre and ap-
parently came from a musket of old
style The man now under arrest
claims that he was shooting blanks
in the gun he fred, but a more rigid
investigation is yet to be made of the
affair.
