FATAL SHOOTING.
A Crandson OF Hon. j. w. Grle field nc
cilcntally Killed.


cidentally Killed.
The Princess Anne IrHc MdrYiaHdcr
says:
We have learned from Hon. John
". Crisficld of the sad death ot his
little grandson, ,popularly called Jack"
but named John w, Cristicld after his
grand father. Little Jack isthe son OF
Arthur Crisilcld, ESD, the eldest son
of our fellow townsman Hon. John w.
Crislield. AS We understood it, the
accident occurred ut Chestcrtown, in
this way. Little Jack, who was eight
IL half years old on the day he was
buried, accompanied Dick Ilynson,
the son of Richard Hynson, Il lawyc"
in Chestertown, out on II ramble in the
suburbs Of the town, and Dick had
carried his fathers revolver. Dick
shot Mt the mark until he thought the
revolver was emptied, when he turned
on little Jack, and pointing it at him
remarked "l'll Kill youm Jack remon-
strated, saying "don't do it!' Dick re
piled, "it's empty" and snapped the
revolver at him, when 10 his utter
horror, it exploded and little Jack
fell, mortally wounded. The ball en-.
tered on the right side, struck one Of
the short ribs, glanced down through
the lower part of the lung and lodged
in the muscles oi the back. He laid
where he fell, while Dick ran for us
sistancc, for about 15 minutes when
he was taken up and carried home in
n dearborn wagon. The shooting oc-
cured about o'clock on Tuesday af-
ternoun last, and he died on the fol-
lowing morning Mt . o'clock. 1t was a
sad accident and has plunged the
many friends the child had here in
grief. He was the brightest of little
| fellows and much loved,
