death Wednesday evening about s:45 in

was found to be badly mangled. His
remains were prepared for interment by
Ira Higgs, and in response to advices
from the B. of R. T Lodge of Winnepeg,

A Most Regretable Accident.

The announcement Thursday morning
ON our streets that Arthur Kistler had
been killed, came to our people as a
blow from clear sky. OF course as is
! always the case there were rumors of
various sorts as to the manner in which
the young man met his death until that
afternoon, when the body passed through
the city in charge of the father, bound
for the home of the family at Fort
Smith. Then it was learned that the
! killing was an accident and one of un-
usually sad circumstances the father
being, through an accident pure and
simple, the slayer of his own son. Mr..
Kistler and his son Arthur have been
with one of the construction camps of
the Choctaw road building out west
| from Little Rock and had the contract
for supplying the camp with fresh
meat.
The camp was located near Austin,
small place about 40 miles west of Little
Rock. Mr.. Kistler and his son had
gone to the enclosure about or O clock
Wednesday evening to slaughter some
beeves for the next day s supply. Among
the lot was very unruly steer and after
chasing it for some time, Mr.. Kistler
thinking he had it about at the right
place took his Winchester and fred at
the brute s head. 1t must have turned
just at that moment for the bullet
glanced off striking Arthur, who had
dismounted, in the abdomen, making a
fatal wound. The father Immediately
placed the son on special train to be
taken to Little Rock for treatment, but
the shock was too great and he died
while en- route.
The funeral took place at Fort Smith
Thursday evening Rev. J. B. Stevenson
officiating. The father and family are
heart broken over the sad affair and
their many Van Buren friends most
sincerely sympathize with them.
