DEATH OF FRANK ANGELL,
Former Lancaster BOY Killed by Accident
On New Years Day.

As means of enjoying the holiday Frank
4. Angel and his wifes brother, T. W. Farris
living at Los Angeles, California, went out to
shoot ducks. They were By small lake and
Angel had discharged his gun at flock OF
wild ducks. Farris had cooked his gun but
did not shoot and neglected to let down the
hammer. He swung the gun about thoughts
lessly and it discharged when it happened TO
be pointed towards Angel The cause of the
discharge is unknown, but the gun lock was
known to be out Of order and liable to snap
at any time. The charge of duck shot enter,
ed Angeles chest and he staggered and fell.
He thought at first that he was not danger,
ously hurt and told Farris and another hunter
that he thought he could get up in short
time. The third hunter went for a team but
before his return Angel was dead He lived
about an hour and half after the shooting.
Frank Angel was the son of DIR. J.. w. Angel
who was the successor of Wood R. Beach as
Clerk of Grant County. The family went to
California about ten years ago. Frank was
formerly an assistant in the Los Angeles post
Office. He had learned and became a prof.
cient in the art of photography and practiced
1t, latterly, for livelihood. The Los An
geles papers credit him with being a man of
excellent habits The manner of his last pre-,
sentiment to his young wife was indeed diss
tressing.
