Oct 1, 1885 - A Child Is Shot By Its Mother:On last Tuesday morning Mr. Jerry Wilson, who resides six miles from this place went to his trunk to get an account book and left the trunk open, Mrs. Wilson seeing his revolver lying there, which had not been loaded for some time as she thought, but during her absence the other day Mr. Wilson loaded the same, took it up and snapped it at her little child to make it laugh, the pistol fired, the ball taking effect in the child's thigh, inflicting an ugly but not necessary fatal wound. Dr.J.L.Sanders was called in to dress the wound. - McNairy Review
