CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS IN THE VICINITY OF PAYETTE
 
CHINAMAN SHOT
 
Another case of accidental shooting occurred at the Golding hop ranch on the 
Payette bench Tuesday afternoon.  The victim is Jong Fong, a brother of Oscar 
Long, who is an educated Chinaman and an American citizen.  Another Chinaman 
was fooling with a gun and let it go off, the charge of duck shot taking 
effect in Fong's left breast a little above the heart, some of the shot 
penetrating his lungs.  Dr. Woodward and Glenn Shawhan went  out soon after 
the news came to town, the doctor being summoned to look after the case.  We 
understand that the wound is not necessarily fatal unless unexpected 
complications shall develop, through it was a close call for the child of the 
orient.
