citizens, on Thursday Of last week, saws

pears that Mr.. Granville Smith, who car
ried on the boot and shoe business on the
east side of the Park, or that morning, in
company with Mr.. Charles Wood, took his
double-barreled fowling piece and went
hunting for quail short distance back of
the new fair grounds. They had not been
out but few minutes when they found
covey of quail, and Mr.. Smith at once shot
off one barrel of his gun, leaving the other
loaded. and, asiusual with sportsmen, lett
the hammer Of the lock up. Becoming a
little excited he commenced reloading the
empty barrel, without letting down the
hammer of the other, and it is supposed
the jar of loading caused the other ham
mer to fall and fire the gun off. At the
time OF the accident the mouth of the gun
was close to his face, and the load of shot
went through his forehead and came out
just back OF his ear, blowing off part of
the head and making large groove
through il. Mr.. Smith at once fell and re-
mained insensible up to his death, which
occurred not far from noon.
