The Gun Was Loaded.
Last Saturday evening as Mr.
Evenson the clerk, was removing a number of shells from a shot gun, at M.J.
Barber's hardware store, one of the shells was accidently exploded, the charge
passing through the center of the front plate glass window. Fortunately no one
was in range and no serious results followed. Had the gun been pointed at the
floor the charge would have hit a case of dynamite, with consequences impossible
to estimate. Mr. Barber says it makes him shudder to think of what might have
happened in such an event. The entire block and possibly many adjoining
buildings would have been wrecked, entailing the loss of many lives.
