She Was Shot In The Leg

THE CASE WILL BE BROUGHT INTO COURT

THE SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTALLY DONE BY TWO BOYS IN SALINE

Last December, Helen Rose Lutz, the 15 year old daughter of Ulrich Lutz, of Saline, while passing Unterkircher's drug store in that village, was shot in the fleshy part of the leg above the knee. The bullet is charged to have come from a target rifle in the hands of Jay R. Watson and Fred Koch, two boys. The case has been placed in the hands of Lehman Bros. and Stivers, attorneys. An appointment of Ulrich Lutz as next friend was filed in the clerk's office today preparatory to commencing suit. It is understood that the defense will attempt to show that the boys were in the store examining the Christmas goods. They did not know this rifle was loaded. Jay R. Watson pulled up the trigger while Fred Koch was also holding the rifle. It went off, the bullet going through the door striking Helen Lutz. The guardian of Watson had the girl brought over to the University hospital and by means of the Roentgen X ray the bullet was located and found back of the bone. He paid the cost of the operation and the nurse that was provided.
