Struck By A Toy Bullet

STRUCK BY A TOY BULLET

Miss Malvina Frank narrowly escaped a serious injury Tuesday by which she might easily have lost the sight of one of her eyes. Robert Alber, a clerk in the toy department of Mack & Co., was handling an air rifle, not knowing that it was loaded, when he accidentally touched the trigger and the rifle was discharged, the bullet striking Miss Frank just below her right eye. The bullet had spent most of its force before striking the young woman, but it inflicted a bad bruise. Had it struck her an inch higher it would without doubt have ruined the sight of her eye forever.
