Marion Baggett Wounded by "Unloaded Gun," Dec. 20, 1923

Dunn Man Wounded with “Unloaded Gun”

Dunn, Dec. 19—Marion Baggett, well known Dunn citizen, had a .32 calibre steel bullet shot through his right arm just above the wrist when a pistol in the hands of Carl C. Jackson was accidentally discharged.

Jackson was at the Baggett home and was examining the pistol when it was discharged. The gun was thought to be unloaded at the time it fired. The bullet passed between the two bones in the arm and the wound is not considered of a serious nature.
