Sacramento Bee - January 18, 1905 - HUMAN TARGET DIES FROM BULLET WOUND - MARYSVILLE January 18th – Some three weeks ago a Smartsville Chinaman named WON, who followed mining, was brought to the County Hospital suffering a bullet wound in the knee. His explanation of his injury was that while he was prospecting on the river bank two boys, carrying rifles, appeared in the vicinity, and began shooting at marks. Presently a bullet struck very close to him and a few minutes later he felt the shot in the knee. When he made an outcry the boys hurriedly disappeared from the scene. - The Chinaman, who was 65 years of age, died yesterday in the hospital ward.

The boys make the claim that they shot but six times at their aged target. (R.T.)
