McLoud, O.T., May 17—A most
distressing accident happened near
this place yesterday afternoon. A
shotgun in the hands of a young
man named Gillet was accidently
discharged, the load of shot enter-
ing the leg of George Gillet, a
brother, aged 13 years. The limb
was almost torn from the body,
onlp a small strip of cuticle con
noting them. The unfortunate
hoy was hurriedly removed to Mc-
Loud, where Drs. Mooney, Hill
•aid Lyon were summoned to dress
his wound. The limb was ampu-
tated, and the boy stood the ordeal
w'.tb remarkable lortitude. It is
considered very doubtful, however,
if he can recover, as the shock and
loss of blood were rather too much
for him.
Much credit is duo Mr. 1 - t .
Sullivan, of McLoud, who took the
hoy into his home and is caring for
him, without expectation of any
return. The Gillet family is poor
and the boy’s mother is dead. Mr.
Sullivan certainly deserves com-
mendation for his charitable aud
unselfolt act.
