Frank Kotchi was shot in the face yesterday morning. He was hit by a stray bullet while hunting in a boat up the Mishicot River. Mud hens and rice hens fly low. There were scores of hunters shooting at them and Mr. Kotchi's misfortune is liable to be repeated for someone else. Shooting was going on before daylight, a violation of the law.
