Commissioner Denham’s Son Shot Himself Through Hand.

George, the 12-years-old son of County Commissioner Charles T. Denham, of Remington, accidentally shot himself through his right hand while playing with his father’s 22-calibre revolver Friday. In company with another boy he was examining the revolver. They were sitting on the bank of Carpenter creek and George, who is left handed, was examining the weapon when it was discharged. The bullet passed into the palm of his right hand, passed between the bones, ranged upward and came to the surface at the back of the band. The boy went at once to his home and the services of a doctor were called and the bullet removed. It is not expected that serious results will follow.
