A serious accident befel a lad named Alexander Wishart, near Appleby, near Invercargill, on Friday evening. He and some other boys, one of whom had a loaded pistol, were together. lhe pistol went off —how it is not known—and the contents, heavy duck shot, entered Wishart's right knee, shattering one of the bones. Some of the shot passed through the limb, but a considerable quantity remained in the flesh, and at the hospital they were extracted by Dr Dorath.
