ACCIDENTLY SHOT.
Monday evening while
driving a wagon near Reagan John Tubb was accidentally shot and painfully, but
not seriously hurt.
John was holding a magazine shotgun in one
hand and driving with the other when the wagon struck a stump causing him to
drop the gun which went off, some of the shot taking effect in his right side.
John sprang from the wagon and the horses ran away. John says the gun in
the meantime kept shooting and that he had a narrow escape.
