Two injured In Accidental Shooting

*Noah Webb, age 62 about was severely injured in the back of the
neck and shoulders and Earnest Parker, 22, lost the little finger
of his right hand, when a gun was accidentally discharged at
noon Friday while the two were starting on a fishing trip.

The accident occurred in the Sampson community where both
men reside.


Parker was carrying the gun across his back and Webb was walking
beside him when the gun was discharged. Almost the full load struck
Webb in the neck and back but did not penetrate deeply. Parker had
his hand on the end of the gun.

Parker rushed to the home of W. C. Fladd some three hundred yards
away and notified him of the accident. Fladd and Richard Browning
secured a car and drove into the woods where they picked up Webb,
who weights in excess of 225 pounds, and rushed him to the office
of Dr. Geddie here. Although painfully injured he was able to walk up
to the doctor's office. His wounds are not considered serious.

The accident occurred about noon and it was more than an hour before
they reached the doctor.

The two men had started fishing and took the gun along to kill a rabbit
for bait. Parker could not account for the gun discharging.
*Noah E. Webb Jan. 26, 1884 - Oct. 8, 1955 Davis Cem.
