Girl Accidentally Shot
By Random Rifle Bullet

MT. CARROLL, Ill.-A shooting &C
cident in which Arlie the 1S-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Kantiehner,
residing north of this city, was the
victim, occurred on their farm when
the girls brother Arthur in cleaning
his 80 calibre rifle shot his sister be-
low the knee.
The gun was accidentally discharg-
ed and it is fortunate that the bullet
did not strike the bone, passing thru
the fieshy part of the girls leg and as
it does not appear to be a wound of a
serious nature, the leaden pellet will
not be extracted.
The young man has been familiar
with guns all his life and the cartridge
was overlooked in handling the rife
which had been given to him by his
father the day before the accident hap
pened.
