* SHOOTS HERSELF
An unfortunate accidgnt happened
yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock
that resulted in very painful if not se
rious injuries to the four-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Bush
at their residence on 6th avenue and
L street.
The rumor that started at the time
of the accident to the effect that a sui
cide had been committed was un
^ founded and at the time caused con
siderable excitement in that end of
town.
The little girl in some unknown
manner got hold of a revolver and Dr.
K. A. Kyvig, who was immediately
summoned accounts for the wounds
in the following manner: It seems
« that she was evidently bending over
playing with the revolver which was
accidentally discharged, the bullet cut
ting through the muscles of the abdo
men for about four inches and passing
through her left arm above the elbow.
Dr. Kyvig says that the course of the
bullet was probably deflected by the
thumb of the left hand which was
badly hurt and in this manner the
child’s life was undoubtedly saved.
The child was immediately taken to
the hospital where the wounds were
properly dressed and Dr. Kyvig pro
* nounces her practically out of danger
and does not anticipate any further
complications.
