GETTING RID OF SORE ARM.
MAN TRIES TO SHOOT IT OFF.
The Feilding police were advised on Saturday of a shooting accident which took place at the residence of Mrs. Elliott, Aorangi Road, Feilding (says the "Manawatu Times"). Her son, Robert Elliott, aged 23 years, who is employed by the Feilding Farmers' Freezing Co. as a labourer, was discovered with a serious gunshot wound in his left arm. Dr. Phillips was summoned and found the limb considerably damaged, and the sufferer wr t removed to the Palmerston North Hospital.
Police investigations disclosed that Elliott suffered from some nervous disorder in the left arm, and, according to the police, he had decided to shoot the left arm off. Obtaining a small-bored gun, he loaded it, placed it to the arm and fired, doing considerable damage to the limb.
A seven-roomed house at Makaraka, occupied by Mr. Andrew Kininmont, was destroyed by fire shortly after 10 o'clock last evening. The house was owned by Mrs. M. J. Wall.
