ACCIDENTAL DEATH.

The accidental death of Albert
Johannas, the nine years old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. 6. A. Pulls, living south
of this city, which occurred at about
7 o'clock Tuesday evening, July 22nd,
is one of the saddest events coming
to our knowledge for some time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pulls were at Iroquois
attending the Sport Day event and
Albert was at home with the other
children, one of the boys being older
than Albert. One of the boys, I'M
known to his parents, had had a
revolver hid in the barn for a year or
more. During the forenoon they
decided to go to Mathews and buy
some cartridges for the gun. They
had shot all but one of the cartridges,
the last one being left in the gun.
AT about the hour mentioned Albert
got hold of the gun and in playing
with it discharged the last cartridge,
the bullet entering the lower part of
the abdomen. The accident happen
ed at the barn, but the boy was able
to walk to the house alone. The
neighbors and a physician were sum
moned by telephone, and word sent
to the parents at Iroquois. Nothing
could be done for the boy, however,
and he died in about an hour.
The funeral was held at the family
home Wednesday afternoon, con.
Quoted by Rev. j. E. Booth, of this
city, and the remains inferred in the
De Smet cemetery.
The parents have the sincere
sympathy of all in their sad affection.

seven years old.
The family were occupying a new
house on their farm near this place
When the storm came up they re-
paired to the cellar and were huddled
in one corner when the house was
struck and demolished. Unfortunate
ly the larger part of the house plung
ed into that part of the cellar where
the family had taken refuge and as
a consequence their death resulted.
According to the tale of the lite boy
who survived he was in a different
corner of the cellar and though he
was found unconscious he soon recov.
cred and was not seriously injured,
Farmers who saw the collapse OF
the house hurried to the rescus They
found the farmer dead with a big tim
Der on his head. He had been in
%stantly killed, as blood was flowing
from his nose and ears, showing that
his skull had been crushed. The life
had been crushed out of his wife by
the same timber, and she lay dead
with the timber across her body.
In the same corner, a little distance
from her father and mother was the
girl, her head crushed and her body
cut and torn by the falling house, !

his argument the sympathies of GER

saw Patrick Halloran's expression of

an hours conversation held close to
the Halloran p.gpen. In the end,
however, Patrick and all his friends
voted for the man, and one day, when
