Fatal Shooting Accident.

Ugly rumors have followed Geo.
Boles death by rife bullet last
week Friday evening, but there is
apparently not the slightest reason
for believing that it was otherwise
than accidental.
Young Boles, IL years old, was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Boles,
the family occupying the Oliver
Mackenzie house on the Billings
estate. He was employed by
neighbor, Charles K. Thompson.
Friday evening, soon after 6 o'clock,
he borrowed Mr.. Thompson's shot
gun and was out woodchuck hunt
ing short time. Returning he
left for home, taking the gun along
with the owners consent. Young
Boles went to the Buck place where
two young Russians, known as Jack
Pompus and John Backman, with
whom he has been on the best of
terms, have been working for some
time. Their rife was standing
against the house, near an open
window, while they were at supper.
According to Blackman's story,
young Boles put his head through
the window and poked Bompus. the
latter jumping up and giving chase.
In good-natured scuffie that fol-
lowed each boy was thrown to the
ground. Boles threatened Bumpus
playfully with his gun; then Bum
pus seized his rife and with a
laughing remark and in pointing
it at Boles it was discharged. The
bullet, 38-calibre, struck below the
right eye, lodging near the base of
the brain, after severing the spinal
column. He died instantly.
Alarmed by the shot. Oliver Boles
found young Bumpus holding the
bead boys head and weeping. DR..
Fl. G. jackson was called and select
man Mills and Vaughan were also
summoned, but took no official
action. as there seemed to be no
doubt on the part Of any one that
the shooting was due entirely to
carelessness.
The funeral services were held at
IL O'Clock a. m. Monday. the Rev.
! w. A. Leonard officiating.

down tight when it looked as though
Dodger might get hit.
Isaacson. the Dodgers imported
pitcher, held the enemy we'll for an
inning or two, but soon tired, and
then the Tigers had it all their own
way.
The afternoon game was supreme
exhibition between the South Street
Pirates and the High Street Bulldogs
and was fitting and spirited wind
up of the season of 1910. In the
box for the Pirates, under Skipper
Dumas, were Liberty and Bean, for
merly of the Detroit Americans, and
there were not many holes in their
semi professional support. The
score, SO, shows that the victorious
Pirates didn't have much the better
of the Bulldogs. The latter were
handicapped by a disorganized
pitching staff, Prior, Fitzmorris,
Putnam and Chase all falling before
the piratical sluggers.
