Boy Shoots Brother in Play in Butte
Eleven year old Georgie Thomas is seriously wounded in the abdomen when his 10-year-old brother Frank fires a revolver believed unloaded. The weapon, a new purchase by neighbor Jerry Harrington, was left on a kitchen table. Georgie’s bullet travels four times through the bowels and lodges in the back muscles. Dr. Hanson performed surgery but could not locate the bullet. Georgie rests quietly at the Sisters' hospital with a good chance of recovery.
