YOUNG MAN SHOOTS H1sasE1F

On Tuesday Of last week, Ted
Cross. of this city. who has been en-
ployed by John Robertson of Sulphur
for several months past, accidently
shot himself in the leg with q high
power rifle.
The young man started to take q
rifle down from the end of a sheep
wagon for the purpose Of shooting a
coyote. The rifle slipped and was
discharged, the bullet striking the
young man in the thigh and coming
out the calf Of his leg. The bullet
wound extended for Is inches. for
'tunately though no bones were brok-
en-. The young man was alone at
the sheep wagon. three miles from
the Robertson home. when the acct
dent happened.
The young man hoped and
crawled a distance, of three miles to
the ranch house, using to assist him
a couple of old brooms. 1t took six
hours for him to reach the ranch
house. The wound bled freely dur
ing the trip and when the ranch
house was reached the young man
was almost exhausted.
The wounded boy was brought to
this city in a car and for the past
week has been under the care of a
doctor. The wound is healing nicely
and to date there is no indication of
an infection.
