Accidentally Shot
Miss Nora Gordon, the fifteen year old daughter of Thomas Gordon, who resided near Mariposa, was the victim of a peculiar and painful accident last Saturday.
The young lady, it seems, was resting her left hand which was closed on the end or muzzle of a 22-caliber rifle when the gun was accidentally discharged with the result that the bullet entered the palm of the hand and penetrated the flesh at the ends of all four fingers and out through the thumb. No Bones were struck by the bullet. Miss Gordon was brought to town immediately after the accident and the had dressed. While painful. Fortunately the wound is not serious, and but a short time will have elapsed before a complete recovery is effected.
