turned home about 8 80 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. He placed his gun in one
corner OF the room, where his wife soon
afterward found 1t and abe picked it up
preparatory to cleaning 1t.
In breaking the gun to see whether a
load remained in IL or not, the weapon
accidentally exploded aud a full load of
shot entered her husbands leg below the
knee. An artery was rupiured and the
blood flowed In constant stream from
the injury.

limb above the wound did not stop the
how of blood and In about IN hour after
be was shot the unfortunate man died
from exhaustion, Induced by the loss Of
blood. DR.. Bellyille OF Delaware City,
who had been summoned, arrived about
a half hour after the mans death. The
deceased was about 40 years old.
Deputy Coroner Lee who went to Della
ware ely Monday TO inquire into the
death of the colored man, David White,
found that his death was caused by acct.
dent and gave certificate accordingly.
White lost his life through mistaken idea
that be could teach woman how to handle
gun, although he showed that he himself
was careless with firearms. He was try
Ing to make his wife thoroughly acquainted
with the gun TN order that she might be
able to handle.tt as well as himself and as
was his custom, he asked her TO clean ii
upon his return from shooting muskrats,
Inc woman did not know that both
barrels OF the piece were loaded:
neither did she see that the gan
was cooked. When she tried to "breaRH
the gun she pushed down the trigger and
the charge entered the unfortunate mans
leg. The two women in the house tried TO
stop the low OF blood By applying SCOT and
salt and did not tie.his leg above the wound
as was reported Monday. II they had
done 50, DIR. Relleyllle says, the mans life
would have been saved. The accident
simply shows how valuable the most simple
rules OF surgery would be in such case,
This accident makes the fourth serious one
which has occurred In or near Delaware
City within few months. First, there was
the explosion OF the threshing machine
boiler, then the snicide OF Mr.. Cleaver. fol-
lowing which came the death OF the little
