Early this morning, Dr. Wylie was hurriedly called to the home of Uncle
Billy Jones near Celina, to attend the wound of his son-in-law, Henry
Wilson, who shot himself in the foot late yesterday afternoon. Mr. 
Wilson formerly ran a meat market in McKinney, going out of business 
sometime last spring. At the time he was shot,he was moving with his 
family to Aubrey, Denton County, when but a little ways west of Celina, 
he alighted after shooting some game and on taking to the wagon, it 
was discharged, the contents taking effect in his foot. He was 
immediately brought back to Uncle Billie's. Dr. Wylie says his wounds 
are very painful but he may not be crippled after the wound is healed.
