Narrowly Escaped Shooting By Cleaning Rifle
Mrs. Wise narrowly escaped injury when a loaded rifle discharged while she cleaned it in a morning cleaning. The gun had been used the day before by her husband Harry L. Wise and his brother, who customarily unloaded it, but they neglected this step. A premonition led Mrs. Wise to delay cleaning, and the weapon discharged with the ball passing near her head and into the ceiling, leaving her badly frightened.
