yond measure Tuesday morning to hear
| that Thos. Brown, one of our most enter
| prlsng hardware merchants, had been &C
| cidertally shot, and so terribly injured that
| he died in a short time after. The circum-

| down the street from his residence, and en-
tered s store. In few moments Mr. He
ger, who was standing near heard the re-
port OF a gun followed by a cry for help
from Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Heger Immediately
ran TO his assistance, and found him near
| his back door. with fearful wound IN the
calf of the LETT leg. 1t seems he had feared
that his store might be burglarized and so
had set spring gun in the doorway lead

rear. Forgetting the presence of the dead
| ~ gun, he walked along until he struck the
string, when the gun was discharged, blow
| ing hole several inches in diameter through
the calf Of his leg, crushing the bones to
| splinters. Help was obtained as soon as
| possible, and efforts made to staunch the
flow Of blood. Doctors Bicknell and Stone
were soon on the spot, and the poor man
was carried to his home. But a short time
elapsed, after being carried home, before it
| was apparent, that The shock to his nerv-
Gus system, together with the loss of blood
would prove fatal. Commissions set in requir-
| ing two men to hold him on his bed 1t
was during one of these struggles that the
| muscles suddenly relaxed, and Thos. Brown
| was no more. He lived little more than
| three hours after the accident. This terri
BILE affair has thrown pail of gloom over
| the entire city But few men possessed
more native energy and business quail fica-
| tons than the deceased.
