Parkersburg, W.Va., Sept. 3. – (Special.) – Lewis Fries, a boy of 12 years of age, while hunting rabbits, was shot in the leg by a rabbit, which he was after. Fries was with his father and another man and they chased the rabbit into a hole. While each one was watching one of the three entrances to the hole the rabbit came out of one of them, and, hopping upon the gun which the boy had thrown down on the ground, struck the trigger with its legs and discharged the gun. Both barrels were emptied into the boy's leg, but he was not dangerously hurt.
