Albert Conger Shot while Hunting
Crawls Quarter of a Mile After Full Charge of Shot Gun Entered

   Crawling nearly a quarter of a mile for help after he had been probably fatally shot through the abdomen, Albert Conger of Armstrong Corners, was found by his family about 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and rushed to the hospital in Sheboygan. The attendants at that institution declare he cannot live.
   The accident happened while Conger, who is the 16 year old son of Mrs. Eugene Conger, was hunting rabbits. He climbed upon a stump in the woods to be able to see better, and let the gun slip from his hands. As the weapon fell, the trigger struck on the edge of the stump, and the weapon was discharged, the full charge from the shotgun striking the boy in the stomach.
   Young Conger crawled out of the woods to the top of a high hill, nearly a quarter of a mile away. There his calls for help attracted his family's attention, and his brother, George Conger, brought him to the house and rushed him to the hospital in an automobile.
   The wounded boy, who was an ardent hunter, was alone at the time of the accident. Hope for his recovery is doubtful.
