Joseph "Joe" PUCKETT
LAHOMA SUN
LAHOMA, Garfield Co., OK
FEB. 4, 1910
 
Submitted by: Lois Burdick


SHOT HIS BROYHER
Joe Puckett aged 9 years old was shot and probally fatally wounded by his brother, William, age 13 years, near Drummond last tuesday.
It is an old, old story " I didn't know it was loaded". The boys were playing in the yard with a gun that was not supposed to be loaded. The older boys snapped the gun at his brother and it exploded, the bullet striking little Joe in the stomach. It ranged downward and made several holes in the lad's intestines. He was taken at once to the hospital at Enid where the wound was dressed. It was though at first that he didn't have any chance of recovery, but since the operation his chances have improved.
