SHOT WHILE HUNTING.

pJVhile Joe and Fred Thomas of Newton tp., aged 16 and 14, respectively, sons of Joe Thomas, were out hunting rabbits Sunday, the gun in the hands of the former was accidently discharged and the bullet, a 22-cali-ber, found a lodging place in Joe’s shoulder and neck. • The boy was brought to town and an X-ray examination disclosed the bullet lying against the first rib, which had stopped its progress. No.effort will be made to remove it unless it should give trouble later, which is unlikely, and the wound will soon be healed.
