Woman Accidentally Shot at Bulolo, TNG

From Our Own Correspondent C T „_ WAU, Sept. 20.

LEANING a .32 rifle one evening last week, Mrs. R. McGlynn, of Bulolo, accidentally dropped it onto the floor, with the result that it exploded and shot her in the stomach. She was brought to Wau hospital, but died early the following morning.

In recent months, since the murder of young Jean Wilson last June, a number of European women have had firearms near at hand, while their menfolk are on night shiftwork with the mining companies.
