About 2:30 yesterday afternoon Lindel Stephens, the 14 year old son of Mrs. Frank Stephens of Culbertson, got hold of his deceased father's white handled automatic revolver. He thought he would have some fun shooting tin cans, etc., so he stepped into S.S. Moen's store and bought a box of shells. Just outside the store he loaded the gun and in some manner shot himself. The ball entered Lindel's body just below the center breast bone and came out just beneath the left shoulder blade. The young lad is nervy. He put the gun in his pocket and went up to Dr. Munch's office. His uncle, W. T. Stephens of Scobey, was in town. His mother and uncle were notified and at once preparations were made to take the wounded boy to Williston on the fast mail. Dr. Munch, W. T. Stephens and his mother accompanied him. He will be cared for at the hospital in that town. Your editor had an interview with Lindel about half an hour after the accident. He was not suffering much at that time and talked freely about the accident. The wound, however is a dangerous one, and it will take several days to determine the outcome. If pluck and nerve will do any good the boy will pull through, as he is well supplied with those qualities. Later.--Dr. Munch returned from Williston this morning on No. 1. He reports that Lindel Stephens stood the trip to Williston last night in fine shape and is still keeping his nerve. The doctors operated on the boy as soon as he reached the hospital to repair as much as possible the damage done by the bullet. It will be from two to four days yet before the crisis will come. The case is very, very serious.-- Culbertson Searchlight.
