tol, which he Is charged with having
sold her, J. H. Caldwell must defend a
suit for 16,000 damages filed against
him In the city court Friday by E. H.
Matthews, the father of the child.
Mr. Matthews alleges that the pistol
was sold as a toy pistol, but that It
shoots a 2>-callber cartridge loaded
with powder and a projectile of some
hard fibrous substance. He alleges
that It Is a dangerous firearm and that
the act of selling It comes within the
purview of the act against selling such
weapons to minors. He sets forth that

that he should have known better than
to sell the weapon to a child.

which left her In a permanently In
