Killed by q Stray Bullet.

Alexander Mccall, an old prospector
who has long resided in the vicinity of
Rockford, according to report which
reached us the forepart of the week, was
shot and instantly killed. Mr.. Mccall
has for some time been making his
home in the Hornblend camp, about
three miles west from Rockford, and his
body was found near his cabin by some
friend who called to see him.
He was old soldier and has spent con
siderable of his time Of late years at the
soldiers home at Hot Springs, where his
remains were shipped for burial. Mr..
Mccall was a man Of about ~ years of
age, and was highly respected by all
who knew him. He was a man of more
than average intelligence, and scholarly
entertainments, and had represented
his district in the legislature in his for
mer home in North Dakota.
The ball which robbed him of his life
was probably a stray bullet from the
gun of some hunter who never knew
the tragedy be had wrought. His friends
do not believe or suspect that ne was
killed from motives of revenge by any
one, as he harmed no one, and they do
not think that he had an enemy in the
world.
