AN ACCIDENT.

An accident at the home of MI
and Mrs. N. j. Staigley, residents
of Oliver county, occurred last
Saturday evening, in which Their
young son aged four years. was in
stantly killed by the accidental
discharged of a shot gun.
Mr.. and Mrs, Staigley had gone
out to spend the evening at a party
in the neighborhood, leaving the
children at home. During the day
chicken hawks had been seen fly
ing around the premises, and the
shot gun was taken down and
loaded so as to be in readiness for
the hawks In the work of the
afternoon the gun was forgotten,
the loaded shell not being taken
out. During the absence of the
parents the two boys, one aged IL,
and The other aged 4, got to play
ing with the gun, the elder point
ing it at his brother, when the
gun went off. the charge striking
the little fellow ia the chest, caue-
ing instant death. The boy had
placed his hand on his breast
to ward off the blow, the fingers of
the hand, with the exception of the
thumb being blown off.
The remains we're laid to rest in
the Washburn cemetery, Monday
afternoon, a large number of friends
and neighbors being in attendance.
The accident was a sad one and
the brother, hardly old enough to
realize the terrible accident which
caused the death of his brother,
is nearly crazed with grief.
Mr.. and Mrs. Staigley are prom
nent resilient in Oliver county and
have many friends in this and
their home county, and the sympa-
thy of all is extended to the family
and relatives in this their hour of
sorrow.

was supposed drowned in the lake
