Accidental Shooting

By the discharge of a revolver in the hands of a member of a chivarreeing party, south of New Hartford, Tuesday night, a son of Mrs. John Utter was shot, the ball striking a button and passing into the body near the pit of the stomach. The doctors were trying to find it Wednesday. The boy was not in pain and it is hoped will recover. His brother was killed some two years since by attempting to jump upon a moving train of cars in this city.--Cedar Falls Gazette
