FIND HUNTER
DYING OF
WOUND

Ben Armstrong of 347 Patton street
was hurled from light spring wagon
in a runaway one-fourth of mile
from the city on Los Felis road, while
on a hunting expedition yesterday
noon, and was accidentally killed by his
own shotgun.
Will Day and Fred Armstrong,
friend and brother of the dead man,
found him dying in the roadway be-
side the demolished rig.
In the patrol wagon and UP to the
moment of his death Armstrong shout
ed Accident. accident" lest the Off
GERS might think the tragedy a murder
and suspect his companions.
The accident came when Fred Arm
strong and Day were hunting on the
hillside. The three had started for a
days hunting, driving out Los F'elis
road in plumbers light wagon. Ben
Armstrong was left to drive the wagon
and the other two were to meet him
at an appointed spot.
Found Dying by Roadside
When they arrived at this place they
failed to find Armstrong. They went
back over the road and found the
horse lying on it's side entangled in the
wagon, which was badly wrecked.
Near by lay Armstrong with an ugly
hole in his right side just below the
nipple. They hurriedly secured a
wagon from a ragman in the vicinity
and started to town with the injured
man.
In the meantime someone notified
e. B. Felts, captain of the chain gang,
who in turn notified the police.
The patrol wagon made a swift run
toward the scene of the accident.
Armstrong, between means, told his
brother and friend that the horse had
taken fright and run away with him.
He had clung to his shotgun and this
had been discharged when the rig had
overturned.
Dies In Patrol Wagon
The patrol wagon met the party with
the dying man at the Buena Vista
street bridge. Driver Mark galloped
his horses back toward the receiving
hospital, while DR.. Cook administered
such aid as was possible to the dying
man, but Armstrong was beyond aid.
The charge of shot had carried away
two ribs and had torn one lung to
pieces. While the sweat of death was
over his face he kept continu-
ally crying Accident, accident!" His
anxiety to show the officers that there
had been no foul play was pitiable.
Opposite the Baker iron works, an
hour after he had been shot, Armstrong
died.
Armstrong was a plumber and
worked with his brother at 1404 Patton
street. His mother is prostrated by
the shock.

\ Distressing Accident.

A most peculiar and distressing ac-
cident that happened at the Wearn
Rowe ranch late Saturday afternoon,
resulted in the death of MIR. Rowe's
youngest daughter. u child about two
years old. la company with her
brother and sister, children only "a
few years older than herself, the little
one was playing ia u corral in which
was IL calf, and ii occurred To the
children that they could have some
fan with the animal. A rope drag.
ging from the neck of the calf was
tied to the waist of the youngest child,
when the calf commenced 20 race
around dragging the little one around
the corral and intlicting serious in
~luries. The victim was alive when
adult assistance arrived, and a hur-
ried trip was made to town for medi.
cal assistance, but the little one died
before reaching here.
The occurrence is more particularly
sad because of the death of Mrs. Rowe
a few months ago, and the bereaved
father, who is on a trip east. will re.
ceive the heartfelt sympathy Of his
friends and neighbors over this addi.
tional affection. The funeral services
OF the little one were held Monday af.
