Attempting to pick the fulminate cap out of a Remington cartridge which had missed fire in his rifle, using his knife for that purpose, he succeeded in exploding the cartridge while it was held between the thumb and first finger of his left hand. The bullet was not detached from the metal case by the explosion, but the case itself was blown into ragged edges which lacerated the man's hand seriously. Weather cloudy and gloomy all day.
