Douglas, Feb. 3—Yesterday after
non Sam Jurich appeared at St. Ann
hospital to have a bullet wound in his
back dressed. Ko refused to tel;
how the accident happened and the
city marshal investigated the affair.
Jurich, who is night porter at the
hospital, was lying on his face asleep
when the shot struck him.
A roomer in the house, another Aus
trian. was clearing his trunk of some
accumulated papers and other things
and taking a 3S calibre Colts auto
matic from the trunk, laid it on lni
bed. The gun was accidently diseharg
ed, passing through the mattress tie
floor and the ceiling, and striking
the sleeping man in the room below,
eutered his back, causing a slight
flesh wound.
The fact that the bullet had so
many obstructions to pass through un
doubtedly saved the life of Jurich, a?
the wound w-as one in the small of
the back right over the kidneys.
