KILLED BY GUN

A sad and awful accident took place
at Murphy's Mill near Clayton at noon
Tuesday when little Robert Blair, the g.
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Porter NJ.
Blair was shot to death by accidental dis
charge of gun. 1t appears that Mr..
Blair, his wife and his boys were all
down to the pond to see him shoot some
swapping turtles. One that he had killed
could not be reached save by wading out
to it, so laying his gun down on the
bank against tree, he waded ont in the
direction of the place where the snapper
fell over While he was thus engaged he
saw crow fly over and made the re-
mark that If he had another shell he
would take a shot at it. In the mean
time the boys, Harvey aged II, and
Robert aged 9, had been cleaning the
gun, and Robert, unbeknown to anyone
else loaded it with shell which he had
brought down in his pocket. Harvey
picked the gun up, and had just laid it
against the tree and as he had turned to
leave, the gun in some manner slipped
and in falling struck root which caused
it to go off. Robert who was directly in
front OF it received the whole discharge
in his face and died instantly. His face
was SO torn that he could hardly be rec
ognized.

ping turtles are being caught in great
