SHOT IN THE LEG
SHOT IN THE LEG
PERTH, Tuesday.A shooting sensation occurred near Brown's Mill, Green Bushes, a few days ago, the principals being Angus Beggs and Hugh Blum, both timber workers.
According to Beggs' statement, Blum, while under the influence of liquor, entered Beggs' house and assaulted Mrs. Beggs. Beggs then shot Blum in the thigh. Blum, however, says that he was looking at the gun, when it went off, and shot him. The bullet went through the left leg above the knee.
As a result of the injury the leg will have to be amputated. Beggs has been charged with having inflicted grievous bodily harm on Blum.
