He and a companion rested their guna
on a tree, and just then a squirrel came
scurrying along, pursued by their dog.
Tbe squirrel scampered between the
gun- and the tree. As the dog followed
he hit one of the guns in such jk way as
to discharge as it fell, and the heavy
charge of shot entered Wallen's neck
behind hi* ear. Hi* companion bound a
jersey around the wounded man's neck
and then almost carried him a mile to
hi* home, where surgical help was hur
riedly procured. The ear was found
badly torn and required several stitch
es to close the wound. Hi* injuries are
not serious and he will soon recover.
