He had borrowed the pistol from a boy with whom he was an associate, and while examining the lock, the pistol being pointed towards him, it was discharged, the ball taking effect under the right jaw, about midway between the chin and the ear. Drs. Bateman and Ryer endeavored to discover the course of the ball without success. The lad will probably recover."
