A BOY SHOT BY HIS BROTHER.
[By Telegraph.] Dunedin, Dec. 13. On Saturday afternoon a number of boys armed with a couple of guns, one of which was doubled barrelled, were shooting skylarks and rabbits in one of R. B. Martin’s paddocks. One of the boys, John Kislinbury, was in the act of placing his right hand on the hammer of the double barrelled piece, when the left barrel exploded, and the contents were lodged in his brother, Alfred Kisliubury’s side. The lads ran off except two, who assisted John Kislinbury to carry the wounded boy to Martin’s house where he expired almost immediately. Deceased was 13 years of age.
