Stark, a thirteenyear old son of C. M. Starks of Webster was visiting Mr. Williams' son Mark, and the boys had procured a toy pistol withwhich they had been shooting at rats. Monday morning Mark Williams took the loaded pistol, which carried a few small shot, and pointing it at his friend, said, "If you were a robber now, I woiild shoot you," or words to that effect. In some manner the pistol went off, the shot taking effect in young Stark's breast and hmgs, inflicting a severe and perhaps fatal wound. Dr. Frothingham was at once summoned, and at last accounts there wsre hopes of the boy's recovery.- Register.
