UNSAFE FIREARMS.
Chief Stong has been notified by
the Canadian National Safety League
that certain types of imported guns;
which are sold very cheaply and are
often purchased by -boys, are very un-
safe. In a vase •of accidental shoot
ing in Toronto recently itwasfound
that the rifle figuring in the accident
was one of e consignment of 15,000
a . • g n March
slum rn Montreal i last
from Germany, which an' expert de -
dared to
e-clared.t, be absolutely without safe-
.ty features. Several makes of cheap $aiffield
rifle's from Germany and Belgium
are declared to: be also dangerous.
The jury in this ease called the atten-
tion of the authorities to the danger-
ous character of the weapons, in the
hands of those unskilled in the use
of firearms. '
