Western Union Man Shot by Son With "Unloaded" Gatling

Dickinson, N.D., July 7—C A Nelson of the Western Union was shot through the fleshy part of his hip by his young hopeful, when the latter dug into an old trunk and resurrected a .32 calibre revolver, which he didn't think was loaded. The wound is not serious.
