BOY ACCIDENTALLY
 SHOT BY HORTON Weather Man Trying to Brighten Negroes Away STEALING HYACINTHS Fired in Air Toward Negroes, But Ball Went Too Low and Struck
 Lawrence McCarty, Some
 Distance Away

Lawrence McCarty, a 10 or 12-year- old lad. was accidentally shot in the shoulder last night about 7:so o'clock by E c. Horton, local observer at the weather bureau. The boy is not seriously wound- ed the ball taking effect in the shoulder and being a flesh wound.
 MT. Horton states that for the past three or four nights someone has been robbing the beautiful flower beds of the observatory grounds of hyacinths and last night he determined to watch them and see that they were not again dis turbed. About dark. while watering his flowers. he saw two negroes strolling along the street casting furtive glances at the beds containing the hyacinths. One of them, he states, held long bright steel instrument resembling a sword. He states that it was not walking cane, as it was too bright for that.
 MT. Horton says that he watched the negroes until supper time and while he was eating Mrs. Horton watched the flowers. After supper, Mir Horton states, he took his stand In the yard with his pistol After about half an hour of wait ing he saw someone creeping toward the flower beds and at once divining that these were the negroes coming to steal the hyacinths, he fired in the air
 He says that the parties then took to their heels and ran east on Twelfth ave nue. He says that hoping to scare them more, he fired the second time, also in the air. He says, however, that the second shot must have been too low. as he heard scream Just afterward, as if someone had been shot.
 It. was little Lawrence McCarty who SCI reamed. Bishop J. w. Mccoy, who lives near. heard the shots and the scream and ran to the child. The boy was taken to the residence of William M. Byrd and was given treatment by pr. Talley, who was in the neighborhood at the time. It is said that the wound is not se- rious.
 In speaking of the accident, Mr Hor- ton was visibly affected and showed signs of unmistakable regret. He notified the police department of the accident. Me Carty lives on Twelfth street between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, where he was taken after he left the home of MT. Byrd.
 Officer Brent was sent to the observa- tory by police headquarters and in re- turning brought Mir. Horton to the sta ton with him Officer Brent states that he was not satisfied with the explanations made, hence the arrest. Bond was set by Chief Bodeker in the sum of $300 which was made
