Monday, November 24, 1924GUN DISCHARGED ACCIDENTALLY AND GIRL IS WOUNDED
Pierced through and through little Ethel Frees, the 11 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Frees of Oxford, may live --- after a bullet from a 22 calibre rifle winged its way from one side practically through her body and came out on the other side, above the hip.
The weapon was accidentally discharged by a Floerchinger lad at Oxford Sunday. Today she is doing as well as could be asked.
The bullet in its flight penetrated and passed through another girl's sleeve, but missed her body.
