ACCIDENTLY SHOT.

A fatal accident occurred on Wednesday of this week in the Cove near Clearwater.  Mr. J. Vickery's son, Herrick, who is about 12 years old was handling a Smith & Wesson revolver; his sister, Bessie, about 9 years old sitting on a lounge in the same room.  In some way the revolver was discharged, the bullet striking her in the upper part of the stomach.  Dr. Bibby was called at once and returned about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.  The girl cannot recover.
