Girl Accidentally Shot

Washington Times: What might
easily have proved a fatal accident
occurred at the Palt home out east
of town last Saturday morning. Miss
Valaska Palu was cleaning up the
kitchen and in some way knocked
the shotgun over, which had been
left standing IN the corner, the muz-
zle striking her i'm the side. The jar
discharged the load which passed
through the heshy part Of her side,
just above the hip, tearing an ugly
hole. A ~hurryup call vas sent to
town for medical aid and Charlie
Bryant took both the doctors out IN
record breaking time. The wound
was dressed and soon the patient
was resting easily. A nurse was Sc
cured at Aberdeen and the injured
girl is getting the best possible care
and there seems little doubt that she
will come through alright 1t was
a narrow escape.
