Great Execution.

B. R. Young and his family were traveling in a prairie schooner near Palomas, Mexico, when a loaded gun in the wagon in front was discharged accidentally. The ball pierced Young’s shoulder, passed through his son’s hip, then through the baby’s head, and struck the shoulder of Mrs. Mary Roberts, a daughter of Mr. Young. Gather and son were seriously wounded, the baby was instantly killed, but Mrs. Roberts received only a slight wound.
