DEATH OF BUELAH GATES.
Account of the Sad Fatality at

lDeseret News.
 Che Of the saddest and most shocking 2 accidents imaginable occurred in thIs city at 7:30 o'clock last evening in a shooting, the result of which is that little Buelah Gates, the bright seven- yesr-old daughter of Mir and Mrs Jacob Gates, lies dead. The distress ing affair has cast cloud over the entire city. Seven httle children were playing "theater' on the front porch of the family residence. One of the larger boys had 2 caiiber rifle and had pulled the slugs out of the car tridges. and placing paper wads ill, had fired over the heads of the other chlld- ren. The children were playing that some of them were Spaniards and the rest were American soldiers They had been playing some time when their blank shells gave out, and the boys loaded two more with soap instead of the paper waddlng. and the gun was loaded and handed to Cecil Gates, lad about II yea of age.. Two little girls, Beulah being one, were representing Spaniards, and the boys were "storn- ing" the SpanIsh forts. tn little girls commenced to run and when about ten feet from Cecil, the latter took sight with the rife and fired, little Beulah staggered and ran through the house to one of the back rooms, followed by her playmates. Neighbors rushed in, attracted by the cbIIdren's cries, and found the little girl kneeling, saving her prayers. She was lifted and placed upon bed and Drs. Taylor and Allen summoned. but the little victim was be- yond all earthly heIp~ In just forty minutes she died. Before she died she sad that she was i'll some little pain but not much. The doctors probed for the ball of soap but could not find it, as 1t IS thought 10 be deep in the stomach. The ball entered just below the heart making hole about as large as lead pencil.
 Both parents were out of town, Mir. Gates being in Eureka and Mrs. Gates being at Panguitch Lake. The father arrived this morning and is grief stricken. No word as yet has been heard of Mrs. Gates.
 No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral. The little play. mates are very much heart broken. especially Cecil Who is unconCof.hIa
