Gilby, N. D., April 29.-Claiming
that he had no intention of firing at
F. Kinsala and wife, the occupants of
an auto, who narrowly escaped being
struck by a rife bullet discharged
from a gun in the hands of William
Nobel, "a farm hand residing neal
here, the careless handler of firearms
today was assessed a fine tof $25, be-
fore Justice of the Peace Bue, which
he paid, making no defense to the
charge of using firearms illegally.
The accident occurred Sunday, as
Mr.. and Mrs. Kinsala were riding in
an auto near this city. A shot was
heard and a bullet passed through
the rear seat of the automobile, the
leather lining checking it's progress.
Mrs. Kfnsala sustained a slight bruise
but the occupants were otherwise un-
injured. Constable Cam Stewart ar
rested Nobel late Monday and he was
brought here. for a hearing. The gen.
eral impression is that the mar is
telling the truth and: that the acct.
dent, which might have resulted ia.
tally to n or both of the occupants
of the auto, was the result of his
carelessness and not intentional. The
court gave Nobel a severe arraign.
ment2 on his carelessness and eau.
toned him as to his future handling
