On Monday of this week occurred an
accident that will leave its dread
shock OF this community for years to
come, the death by accidental dis
charge of a revolver of Charles r.
Wood, eldest child of Mr. and Mrs
r. P. Wood of Eagle. On Monday
morning Ben Lemon, trusted en-
ployee on the Wood ranch and Char.
ley Wood left for the Woods summer
camp at Castle to take load of salt
for the cattle and build some fences
and intended being gone about ten
days. When near the camp they be-
gan unloa1ing some of the salt, when
it is presumed that his revolver fell
from the scabbard striking piece of
the rock salt and sending a deadly
bullet into the young mans heart.
He only uttered the words that he
was 'shot through the heart and
fell asleep to the cares and tolls of
this worlds lifs to awake to the new
and beautiful life of the ransomed.
Mr.. Lemon hurried home as fast as
the horses could bring him, thinking
perhaps that life was not entirely
gone. But all was over, and the spirit
had gone from this earth to the pres
ence of the King, as quickly as the
twinkling of an eye. Charles R. Wood
was born in Nevada in 10 and moved
to this state years ago and has lived
in eagle since '9s, on their ranch
home one quarter of mile out of
town. One of the most beautiful
places in this country. One year ago
last Christmas he was married to
Paulina Stein, eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Stein of Eagle They
continued to live at the ranch home
with his parents where beautiful
baby boy was born to them last fall
and the future seemed to hold alluring
opportunities for him. No young
man in this whole country could have
had more friends than he, loved by
old and young, generous, good and
true, perfect son, devoted husband.
The funeral services were held at the
Methodist church at two o'clock and
his funeral was certainly the largest
ever held in this town, The music
was very appropriate and well render

rested amid very wilderness of
flowers, great wreath after wreath,
pillows. compasses, squares and
crosses, in shoct every conceivable st-le

full collection, showing the high re-
spect and esteem of the departed. In
the Eagle cemetery the interment was
made. and thus ended one of the lives
in which there seemed unbounded
promise of a beautiful manhood and
perfect citizenship. The family are
broken hearted over the sad ending of
their beloved dead. Died when
