Crows were becoming very destructive on the W. Paris farm and Peter Wilson,
the foreman was occasionally shooting one, and had his gun ready to seize
at anytime and to dispatch them. Mr. Wilson's son Ralp, aged about 12
years old, was entertaining a cousin. The cousin spied the gun and in a
spirit of fun aimed the gun at young Wilson, and, thinking it unloaded,
pulled the trigger. The awful explosion or discharge of the gun and the
fall of young Wilson struck terror to the heart of the young man who held
the gun. The parents were frantic with grief and a physician was hastily
summoned. It was found that young Wilson had been shot in the side and had
two ribs bro9ken and a large hole in his stomach. He was quickly taken to
a Morristown hospital, and is in critical condition. The young man holding
the gun is suffering a severe nervous shock, and the parents are suffering
from shock of the accident. The entire community was shocked and the
parents are extended much sympathy.
