Fatal Hunting Accident.
A sad accident occurred Sund;

A sad accident occurred Sunday
near Veblen, costing a young
man his life. The sixteen-year-
old son of Chris Hanson was out
duck hunting with others. AS
he sat in the boat he pulled his
gun towards him, when it was
discharged killing him instantly.
The young man was a nephew of
Louis Hanson who came to a
violent death in this city about
three years ago. This is another
of the terrible warnings as to
care in the handling of weapons,
which seem to be so little
needed by our youth.
