Herman Angorius, the i've year. old
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. N. e. Nelson of
Strout, was on Thursday noon aoei-
dentally shot and killed by his ten.
year-old brother, Evsld. Mr.. and
Mrs. N. r. Nelson and the other
members Of the family had gone to
the Beckville church to attend mission
services that morning and the two
boys were left at home alone. To
pass the time away the two went
upstairs, entered an old trunk and
found a revolver Of q calibre with
which they began to play. Suddenly
q shot rang out and the younger boy
dropped dead. The bullet from the
revolver had entered the chest on the
right side where the first rib joins the
breast bone. Scarcely q drop OF
blood marked the wound. The acci-
dent occurred at about ll:3O as near
as the time can be fixed. The re-.
volver belonged to an older member
OF the family, on, of the sons. 1t
