Morning Oregonian November 19, 1904
Clackamas County Boy May Lose The Sight Of One Eye
Oregon City,Or.,Nov.18,-(Special)- While hunting this morning with an older 
brother at their home near Highland, Tracey, the 15 yer old son of Samuel 
McSherry, was shot and seriously wounded.In crossing a field, the brothers 
became seperated for a distance of about 50 yards.
Attracted by a flock of birds, th eolder brother, who was not aware that his 
brother was not beside him, turned and excitedly fired, several of the charges 
of birdshot striking Tracey on the upper part of the forehead and,glancing, 
produced slight scalp wounds. One of the stray shots entered the right eye 
near the nose and may cause the injured boy the loss o fthe eye.
