Accident.
Yesterday morning a resident of Silver Bow, named Benjamin Dudden, met with a painful accident from the unexpected discharge of a shotgun. It seems that a neighbor had called in to borrow the weapon, which was laying near the bed. Mr. Dudden, who is an invalid, and who had not arisen at the time the neighbor requested the loan, reached for the gun, which, being loaded, went off, blowing off one of his (Mr. Dudden's) fingers. The neighbor got the gun, but Mr. Dudden did not get his finger.
