Shelbyville, Ind., Aug. 7. -- Millard Sullivan, aged 13 years, son of Harry Sullivan, took his father's pistol from the mantel and pointing it toward Miss Pearl Hilt said: "Auntie, I'll show you how to shoot," and pulled the trigger. The bullet entered the neck, completely severing the jugular vein, and Miss Hilt died in a few minutes.
