An Exciting Story.
A BOY’S PAINFUL EXPERIENCE,
By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, last night. Considerable excitement was caused at Petone to-day by a boy named Adams, aged 12 years, being discovered with a shattered hand and wounds on other parts of his anatomy, which he said had been caused by some unknown person shooting him from behind. As the position of the wounds on the youngster’s body gave color to this story, a detective was sent out to make enquiries. Meanwhile the boy had been brought into the district hospital, and after one of his fingers had been amputated he told the surgeon that he had been damaged by a cartridge, which exploded while he was pressing it into the ground with his foot.
