"Outrageous Carelessness — The other day Mrs. Morris, wife of Rowley Morris, physician of this village, came near losing her life by the carelessness of a young man. He was attempting to shoot a dove which sat upon the ground, when the ball glancing, (probably from a stone) passed through the hand of Mrs. Morris, as she was standing at the window of her house near by. Such carelessness cannot be too severely condemned."
