Herben. You may have seen some reference to the matter in today's papers. She was out walking yesterday with our two boys, one 14 and the other 10.

While examining one of the rifles she was accidentally shot just above the left knee.

She is now in the hospital, and is getting along nicely, and will be out again in a few days, I hope. Under the circumstances I do not think it prudent for me to be away from home, and I am quite sure that you will agree with me' in that. Some Other Time.

Very sincerely, yours, "STEPHEN. J. HERBENV Mr. Herben explained the details of the accident to Chicago papers yester day and they print the facts as hereto fore stated today. SOCIAL AFFAIRS.
