YOUTH SHOOTS SELF
Bullet From Bargain Pistol
Enters Side.

Max Basin, IL, Of 1143 Udell ST.,
accidentally shot himself in the
side Friday with a blank cartridge
pistol he had bought from another
boy for a lollypop and a home
prepared cartridge.
When Earl HutSell, IA, of 1922
Eugene ST., stopped to ask Max to
go swimming, Max took Earl and
his own sister Evelyn, IA, into the
back yard to demonstrate the pistol.
He had bought some .22-caliber
cartridges and sawed off the lead
bullet to the brass jacket, leaving
part of the bullet inside the
jacket.
When the cartridge failed to ex-
plode on his first aim at the wood
shed, Max lowered his arm and
pulled the trigger again. The gun
fired and the bullet entered his side.
City hospital doctors said his
wound is serious, but he probably
will recover.
