MISTAKEN FOR A DEER.
How Maj. Smylie Lost His Life IL
Adirondacks

The New York Tribune of today says:
The body of Major Charles A. Smylie who
was shot accidentally by his friend, Judge
c. B. Storrs, at Grasse Pond, in the Adir-
ondacks, on Wednesday, was brought to
this city last night on the Chicago limited
The train arrived at $50. bringing Judge
Storrs, Mrs. Storrs, Mrs. Smylie and Rich
ard Storrs. The party was met by w. H.
Ely, the father of Mrs. C. A. Smylie;
Adolphe Smylie and William Smylie, broth
ers, and several friends and relatives
Judge Storrs was unstrung with grief, and
Mrs Smylie was also assisted to her car
riage. The family was driven to No. 40
West 18th street and the body was placed
in charge of undertaken.
Further details of the tragedy were added
by Adolphe Smylie and W. II. Ely of No
TO-, Gold street. The shot was fired after
the search for deer had once been given
up. Major Smylie had persuaded his friend
to hunt on the lake at night, they in
tended returning home on the day follow
ing and would have no further chance.
Judge Storrs arranged a signal with a lam
tern which was to be used from one boat
to the other. After failing to get any trace
of deer Major Smylie gave the signal and
returned to shore, leaving his friend alone
on the lake. Later the sound of an animal
in the water was heard by the guides and
Major Smylie put out again. This Judge
Storrs did not know. AS his boat drew
nearer to the sound of splashing where the
deer was leaving the water at the shore the
guide urged the judge to fire. The other
boat had by that time crossed the line of
fire and the bullet was intercepted by the
body of the other hunter. Major Smylie
lived only a few moments after being
wounded. The bullet entered the lung.
Previous to the arrival of the party yes
terday Mr. Ely received a letter from Mrs.
Smylie describing the accident briefly.
Major Smyie and Judge Storrs, with their
families had gone to the Adirondacks only
a week ago for short outing.
The funeral will be held at the house. No.
140 West 5Sth street, on Monday at II m,
and the burial will take place at Living
ston, n. j., where Major Smylie had a sum-
mer home.
