this shot unless absolutely necessary. 1t

correct. Therefore, In summing up the

painful wound on his right hand
last Monday while out hunting
with Sterling Ross. The boys
had been out to Clear Creek on
a duck hunt and were returning
home when they saw someducks
across the river. In trying to
get a shot at the ducks they got
wet adm then built fire to dry
their clothing, leaving their guns
on the ground. In some way, when
Elvin picked up his gun it fired.
the charge barely missing his
right arm, tore the flesh off the
palm of his hand causing a very
painful butnot dangerous wound.
His coat sleeve was shot away.
The accident happened at Hob

river. A speeder was pressed
into service and he was brought
into town and the wound dres-
sed. He is getting along nicely
at present and no serious cones
