STRANGE SHOOTING
ACCIDENT REPORTED

Drayton. y. d., Nov 1.-THE
states attorney and sheriff og kittson
county. NJ innrsOt;, gained peculiar
story from Walter Smith and Benja-
min Simmons of Sioux City, Iowa,
who are in the Drayton hospital SUI
fering from gunshot wounds received
several days ago while on the Min
nesota side of the Red River near
HallOck.
y vas the story of the shooting in
which the two men were victims that
the authorities gained. aNd in Sc
curing it the circumstances were
found to be greatly different than sup
posed. Both men are shot in the
mouth. and they had to tell the story
by writing.
Walter Smith. it appears, was &C
cdcntally shot in sJme manner while
resting the butt of the gun on the
ground. A few minutes after he had
been shot. Simmons came on the
scene and found. as he supposed, the
dead body Of his companion. Crazed
with grief, he secured the gun and
shot himself, attempting to commit
suicide, but failing to 40 so. lnsteau
he received a wound very similar to
that sust aimed by his companion.
Several hours afterwards both men
W. Re. found and removed to Drayton,
where they are now being cared tor
tn to the visit of the Minnesota or
ticials Sunday. the story of the shoot
in4 had been understandable. 1t was
supposed Il, first that foul play had
been attempted, but as both men tell
Il straight story, there is little ground
for such belief at this time.
Smith and Simmons have been in
North Dakota and Minnesota since in
August, first working in harvest and
afterwards engaging in trapping
along the Red river. They are each
about - years old.
