Shocking ACCIDENT At PROVO
CLAUD GULICK, AGED 10, SHOT
AND INSTANTLY KILLED.
His Companion, frankie McCurtain,
Says the Gun Fell Down, But a
Little Brother Says frankie
Dit It.

Provo, Dec. 30.-A very distressing
gun accident occurred here today, by
which Claud Gulick, a boy ten years
of age, son of w. c. Gulick, of the
Provo Steam laundry, lost his life.
Claud was at the house of DR.. Nc
Curtain, playing with the doctors two
children, Frankie, aged eight, and his
brother, aged three.
The children were in the front room,
in one corner Of which stood a Win
chester rife. At about 4:30 in the after
noon the report of a gun shot was
heard and Immediately after Claud
'Gulick, groaning and bleeding from the
chest ran through the hall into the
kitchen, thence TO a bed room, where
he fell on his face and instantly eX-
PRED
Examination showed that the bullet
entered the lads breast, passing
through the lungs, emerging under the
left shoulder blade and finally lodging
in a dresser which stood in the room.
There seems to be considerable I'M
certainty as to how the accident oc-
CURED. The McCurtain boy says the
gun was lying across the washstand
and fell down and was discharged in
the fall, the bullet entering Claud' S
breast. The position of the wound and
the manner in which the bullet entered
the dresser makes it difficult to see how
the shot could have come from a
weapon which had fallen to the ground.
frankie could not give any very salts
factory account of how Il happened,
but strongly protested that he hadn't
done it, both to the dead boys father
and others. His little brother, who,
however, is but three years of age, said
that frankie shot Claud."
There is a theory that the boys were
playing with the gun and that the
shooting was accidental
An inquest was held and a verdict of
accidental death was returned
The parents of both lads are almost
| distracted over the sad affair.

YOUNG FOLEY'S TRIAL.
Indications That the Evidence Will
Produce a Hung Jury.

-
Liberty, Mo-, Dec. 30-In the trial
of young Foley for the murder of his
mother, the state concluded this af-
ternoon. 1t is not believed that the
case presented by the prosecution is
materially stronger than the evidence
brought out on the first trial, which re-
suited in hung jury, and it is freely
predicted that this trial will have a
similar termination. Young Foley was
in tears during the greater part of the
time occupied by his attorney, Major
Woodson, in addressing the jury. His
sisters, Mrs. James Morrow and Anne
liza Foley, who sat beside, were also in
tears. Attorney Woodson stated that
he would show that the relations be-
tween Foley and his mother and sister
were pleasant, and, speaking of the
alleged motive of the crime, he stated
that they would prove that Foley had
nothing to gain through the death of
his mother and sister. The youth was
paid literally for his labors on the
farm, he said, AMI, encountered, as the
homestead was, the young man knew
that his interest in the property would
be materially lessened through a forced
disposal of the mortgaged homestead
in the hands of an administrator By
the sale of the property, since the muir
der, the estate realized about IS, 000
Several witnesses for the defense were
examined. Their testimony was prin-
cipally to show that the time of the
murder must have been before
o'clock, the time claimed by the de-
Tense, and to show that pleasant rela-
tons existed between young Foley and
his mother and sister

Tried to Run the Dance.

Logan Journal: Justice j. P. Smith
was busy nearly all day yesterday,
trying a case of battery from the Fifth
ward. Ephraim Jensen, one of the
presidency of the ward Sunday school,
was arrested on complaint of Mrs
Christina Bunce, who charged that
Jensen committed the crime of battery
upon her son in ejecting him from a
children's dance held in the ward on
Christmas day. About a dozen wit
nesses We're examined, and from their
testimony it appeared that young
Bunce went 10 the dance and tried to
run things a little. He was remon-
strated with and finally elected. There
was no evidence showing that undue
force was exercised in putting him out,
and Justice Smith very properly dis
missed the case.

Orrom the Herald's Correspondence

(From the Heralds Correspondents)
Manti Dec. 30-This afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. Stuttz, of Stuttzs Theatre company,
met with serious and probably fatal
accident. Mr. Stuttz had just put some
coal in the stove, which smothered the
fire, causing an explosion from the stove
into an explosive preparation which he
was preparing for an Illumination in his
play. The preparation exploded, burning
both very severely about the upper part
of the body, burning off all their hair and
flesh to such an extent that the flesh
fell off IL pieces from the body OF Mrs
Stuttz. Little hopes are entertained for
her recovery.
The FIRE from the explosion did con-
siderable damage TO the Bench hotel,
where the company was stopping. The
mother of Mrs. Stuttz and also Mrs.
Bench, are completely. Frustrated, while
the victims of the accident are suffering
intense agony and pain.
The company has been here all this
week playing to good houses, coming
here from Mt. Pleasant, where it closed
a successful weeks engagement last Sat
urday night. AS result there will be no
play tonight. and the company will await
the result of the accident.

The cantata 'Kingly Guest was rem

the kind ever presented to the people
the large tabernacle, which was filed to
overlooking. A nominal admission fee
was charged. which added to the Sunday
school treasury nearly $50. The large
stand was handsomely decorated, and
when filled with the members of the
school, all neatly attired, presented a
scene that commanded the admiration
Of all. There were present many visitors
from all parts of the county, besides a
number from Salt Lake Ogden and Provo.
And what added interest as well as special
delight to the beautiful piece Sc. carefully
prepared and creditably. rendered.. was the
parts taken by members of the Salt Lake
Harmony and Glee club, who came by
special invitation and request to assist in
the entertainment. The numbers rendered
