SHELL EXPLODED.
Goodrich, N. D.—Henry Block, son of Mrs. Barbara Block, residing south of Denhoff, was the victim of a shotgun accident which occurred at the Sperry ranch. A number of young men had been out hunting and while one of the party, L. W. Curtis, was taking a gun apart a shell exploded. The full charge hit Block, who was sitting a few feet away, in the leg just above the knee.
