vate Kern. The uninjured militiamen
did so, butlt‘was soon found that such
an operation was useless, for his cum-
rade was unable to stand. Private
‘K put out the red signal to cease
fir rig and word of the accident was
.passad along the line.
Captain Wing, Captain Percy H.
Morgan, inspector of Small Arms
Practice, and many others were on the
-’run in a moment for the butt, where
the accident occurred. The bullet had
first struck within about an inch of
the edge of the butt house, and beyond
the iron plate.‘ It entered the heavy
planking and, apparently, from strik-
Ing a knot, deflected to the right and
went into Demon's body. The young
man was stoopi‘ng at the time and the.
missile en red the left shoulder, pass-
edsacross t e back. through the spinal
column, and came out at the right
shoulder. The wound bled profusely.
Word was despatched to Dr. William
P. Tracey, and while awaiting the phy-
sician’s arrival, young Dellton was
carefully placed in a wagon and driv-
on to the Almshouse, where he could
'be‘ better cared for than in the open
field. Dr. Tracey questioned him re-
garding the accident and found that
{he had no sensations in the lower part
of the hotly from the moment he was
struck by the illlllct. Pricking of the.
flesh could not. even be felt by the in-
jured man. Danton was taken to the
Hospital til the ambulance and was
accompanied by Dr, Tracey and Color
Sergeant Thomas Halli. Dr. A. H.
Baldwin arrived at the allnsllouse
shortly after Dr. Tracey alld also as-
sisted in dressing the wound.
Late yesterday afternoon. General
[Russell Frost paid a visit to the range
and inspected the scene of what may
prove a fatality.
Major James J. Hurley, of Bridge-
Iport, was the inspecting officer yester-
day and Captain Percy Morgan, of P0-
quonock Bridge, inspector of small
arms practice. ' Before the accident.
.which happened about 12:40 o‘clock,
there had been extended order drill

puts up a longer and harder fight, and
has greater chance for his life in the

fish is never killed unlcsa for the pur-

among the storms and breakers of the
Gulf of Mexico, the fish is. of course,
