Accidental Shooting

The sad news reached F. W. Bowley Of
this town, on Monday, BY wire informing
him of the death Of his son, William
Bowley, by accidental shooting, the day
before at West Hastings brook, near
Smyrna, Aroostook county The shoot
ing was done by Edwin l.. Vail, Esq, of
Houlton. lawyer well known through
out the county. Ii appears that Vail
and a companion were on a hunting trip
and were walking along the bed of a
brook in which there was little water,
when they saw what to them appeared
to be deer lying in the tall grass near
the stream. Vail fired and the bullet
struck Bowley In the side of the face,
coming out at the back Of the head and
passing through the hat worn by Bow
ley's companion. Bowley died instantly
The body was taken 10 charge by Vail
and his companion and conveyed to
Smyrna.
As soon as Mr.. Bowley received the
dispatch he made arrangements to go to
Smyrna. He left here by the first train,
Monday afternoon, arriving at Smyrna
the next day at noon. The body was
forwarded to East Wilton, Mr., Bowley's
former home, for burial in the cemetery
there in a lot in which the boys mother
is inferred. Mr.. Bowley returned here
on the early train Wednesday, and with
Mrs. Bowley, left for East Wilton on
the $50 a. m. train, to be present at the
burial there.
Young Bowley's age was II years in
stead of 10 as it has been reported in the
papers. He had lived here with his
father several years, attended school one
year and for time worked in the shoe
factory. He left here about two months
ago and was employed at work in the
