excitement in the home of Albert G..
Miner of Huntington avenue Mr.. Miner
was sitting quietly in his home. on Sat
urday afternoon when suddenly there
was a crash of glass and a ripping Of
wood in the room. Upon investigation.
Mr.. Miner found that bullet from a
rifle had crashed through a window con-
tinaing on through the paneling in door
opposite. and had embedded itself in a
stairway in another room
In its course through the room the
bullet passed within two feet of Mr..
Miners head as he sat reading. Mrs.
Miner said Sunday evening that the boys
who fired the rife were known to her and
Mr. Miner but they did not think it was
advisable to have their names published,
but wished that more care would be used
by the boys in the handling of the rife.
