8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1922 MYSTERIOUS BULLET IJURES TRUCKMAN Robert Conley Shot in Left Leg Monday While Driv- ing Grocery Truck POLICE INVESTIGATE Fail to Determine Source of Shot Robert Conley, 1016 Spruce street, truck driver for a local grocery, is in St. Francis hospital suffering from the effects of a bullet wound inflicted un- der mysterious circumstances Monday afternoon of this week while Conley was driving along Rosewood avenue at Starr place. "I suddenly felt a sting in my thigh," Conley explained to the police, and was startled, an instant later, to see blood stains on my trousers." No Trace of Shooter Examination disclosed a bullet wound in the man's thigh, and he was rushed to the hospital while police instituted a careful but futile search in the vicinity of the shooting. X-ray cxamination at the hospital showed that the bullet had pierced Conley's right thigh and cut two and one-half inches into his left leg above the knee. Called Child's Prank In commenting on the accident Chief of Police Peterson expressed the opinion that the bullet, of 22- calibre, came from the gun of some child playing in the vicinity. Par- ents should understand," he said, "that giving of firearms and air guns to children is a very dangerous prac- tice, which not only endangers their own children but also puts in jeopardy the lives of others. It is strictly against the village ordinance to use any kind if a gun or even a sling-shot in the village limits."
