Wild West Shooting with Fatal Result

Wild West Shooting with Fatal Result
Henry Seymour, Aged IS, the Victim.
The community was shocked Tuesday
morning when it became known another
victim of didn't know twas loaded was
added to the long list of such casualties.
Three boys about 16 years of age, Henry
Seymour, Winifred Bean and an OConnor
boy, were camping in Williams's orchard
Monday night where several other boys
have spent a large part of their vacation
in tents, having great sport firing at
targets and birds in the woods, which
has been a great annoyance to neighbors
in that vicinity. While waiting for their
breakfast to cook they went to ravine
near by and were shooting at targets
and squirrels. O'Connor in some of the
proceedings raised his rifle towards Sey-
mour, thinking the trigger was not cock
ed 1t was the same old story. The gun
went off and Seymour dropped to the
ground. The bullet entered his right
lung, causing death almost Immediately.
The two other boys were so shocked they
ran terror stricken from the spot for
help, which came Immediately, but too
late to do any good
O'Connor and Bean were arrested by
Deputy Sheriff F. B. Phelps and taken
to the lookup, where they spent the day.
The eXcitment gave rise to many false
reports of the affair States Attorney
a brief hearing was held before Justice
H. D. Ryder in the police station shortly
after o'clock. r. f. O'Brien repre-
scented o. Connor who waived eXamina-
ton and was placed under $500 bonds to
appear at the next term of county court
on the charge of manslaughter. Bail was
furnished by D. H. Cray. Bean recog-
nized in the same sum to appear as a
witness and both boys left the station
with their parents.
There seems to be no doubt that the
shooting was unintentional and an un-
fortunate accident. The boys were all
less than 16 years of age and were using
firearms in a careless manner. Much
sympathy is felt for all concerned, es-
pecially for the family of the dead boy.
The funeral of the victim was held in
ST. Charles's church Thursday morning
and was very largely attended. He was
a bright little fellow and loved by all
who knew him. An inquest, conducted by
States Attorney Bacon, was held in Mr..
Ryder's Office Thursday morning

KINDNESS OF THE COMPANY

 The tlephone bell rang and the local manager of the Possible Accident In- surance Company put the receiver to his ear with one hAnd and stifled a yawn with the other.
 "Yes-yes," he answered, then sud- denly on the alert at the reply ,"rail- road accident five miles east of Syra- cuse? Has our policy In her pocket? In dangerous condition? Unconscious, you say? All right will look up policy 9sS4 immediately and communicate with friends"
 He suddenly remembered that it was the luncheon hour and, for the moment, the force consisted of only himself and the office boy.
 Come here. Tim" he called to the other visible representative. hold down this desk and the telephone while hunt a policy"
 He ran the cards in the fiI cease. 'sNo. 9SS4-Louise Bradley, aged twenty-four --orphan-no near reIatives-benefi- ciary-st. Johns church-Galveston Tex"

 He gazed at the card abstractedly. wondering the best course to pursure. for the company was supposed to be able to cope with anything unexpected that might arise If there were no re- latives to notify, 1t could at least see that she had proper medical attention.
 "I'H go myself-too much indolence is boring me to death--first accident we've recorded today" and an hour later Richard Hartleigh, representing the Possible Accident Insurance Com pany boarded a train that would put him into Syracuse in tow hours.
 When he reached the improvised hos pital, a farmhouse whose doors had been thrown open to the sufferers, the doctor in charge took him to Louise Bradley.

under the act of April 2s, 1855, 1t will say so. We have a number of statutes which expressly confer rights upon aliens, but none which confers them by implication or inference.
 The decision upholds the rights of he>companies of the United States as do the laws of other countries which will not allow an American to enter suit in foreign country.
 The court says that the courts of the United States cannot look after the in- terests of other than it's own citizens, and that the only way an alien can use our courts Is through a treaty be- tween this and the other counties which have never yet been made, gov- erning just such happenings as the one involved in the suit:
