   A. A. Kimball, just returned from Pipestone,
informs us that a young man about 18 years old,
a resident of that place, named Aldridge, was
accidentally shot on Tuesday last. He was
returning from Marshall with his father when 
they stopped to eat a lunch. The young man took
hold of the gun by the muzzle and drew it towards
him when the hammer caught and the load was 
discharged striking the young man in the temple
and blowing the top of his head off.
