FATAL ACCIDENT.
Arthur Meyer Shot Saturday BY His
Schoolmatc.

SchOolmatc.
A fatal shooting accident, in which Arthur
Meyer was the victim, happened near Glen
Echo Saturday. The shot was fired from a
cat rifle by Clarence T. Burton, the Meyer
boy dying almost instantly. An inquest
held in the case yesterday by Mr.. David
son, justice of the peace, exonerated the
Burton boy. Meyer was fourteen years OLD,
and was a son OF Mr.. Joseph Meyer, who
is a member of the real estate firm of E. 6
E. Baltzley Co. Clarence is only twelve
years old, is a son of Mr.. Walter Burton,
manager Of the National Hotel.
The boys were playmates and attended
the Force School Burton accepted an in
yitation from his little friend to call on
linn at bis home near Glen Echo Saturday
and go bird shooting. Soon after breakfast
Saturday morning Clarence borrowed his
brothers cat rifle and started for the
country. When the youthful sportsmen
reached the vicinity Of the canal, some dis
lance from the home of the Meyers, several
sparrows were sighted and Meyer called
his guests attention to them. The shot
was long one, but Burton was willing to
chance 1t. He raised his rifle but before he
had time to aim it at the birds across the
canal the weapon exploded and the bullet
entered Meyers skull and penetrated the
brain.
Young Burton did the best he could to
wipe away the blood and then ran to the
house of Mr.. Lockwood for assistance
Miss Lockwood went down the hill and
found Meyer, who was dying from the eff
fects of the wound. Mr.. Meyer was noti-
fed of what had happened and he tele-
phoned for DIR. ]. Ford Thompson. In the
meantime Mrs. Meyer went to the scene of
the shooting, but death had claimed her
boy before she reached him
AS soon as Mr.. Walter Burton was told
Of the occurrence he started for Glen Echo
with medical aid, but 1t was learned that
nothing could have saved the boys life.
The body will be taken to Landsdale, Pa,
for interment

A well-dressed man called at police head
quarters Saturday afternoon and complain
ed that he had been insulted on the street.
The mans conduct indicated disordered
mental condition, and he was advised to

spector Mattingly. He imagined himself
the victim of a conspiracy in which all
classes figured. One statement was that
two thousand females had conspired to get
his money In bank. Police Surgeon hewitt
made an examination of the man, who
gave his name Joshua Davis, and he
was turned over to his brother. Edward
Davis, who lives at Milton, Pa.
