WENGER'S HAT PIERCED Bullet Passed Through His Wagon Top and Glance Offd The Young Man Handled HIS Rifle Carelessly He Did Not Intend to HIt Wenger -Penalty for Carelessly Pointing Firearms. B. B. Wenger, a well known school teacher, residing in Swatara township, several miles north of Jonestown, had al experience Saturday afternoon which he is not likely soon to forget. He had been visiting in this eity during the day and late in the afternoon started for home in his two-seated wagon.

When in the vicinity of Simon Reintzel's farm. near Black Oak hill. he was startled to see a young man standing in the roadside and pointing a gun towards him. Wenger of course thonght the gun was not loaded but a few seconds later the young man pulled the trigger and the firearm was discharged. The bullet passed through the wagon top and then glanced off piercing a hole, the size of a dollar.

in the rim of his felt hat. Naturally Wenger was badly scared. but it happened so quick that he could scarcely realize what had occurred. After recovering from his fright he censured the young man who had fired the shot for being so careless, and it is said to have been one of his nephews. Of course the shooting was accidental and Wenger is thankful that he escaped unhurt.

Persons who carry guns should be more careful and especially not point them at anybody, as they subject themselves to a severe penalty by doing so. A VIOLENT EXPLOSION. Persons Thrown Out of Their Beds at Tower City This Morning. Tower City. Nor.
