UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. !

Cincinanti, O., Nov. S.-The cleo
tion of Henry T. Hunt, Democrat,
as mayor of Cincinnati, over his Re-
publican opponent, Louis SChwab, is
regarded here today as direct slap
at President Taft, and the severest
blow which the Republican machine
under Boss George B. Cox, ever sus-
tanned.
Hunts campaign was spectacular.
Ex-Mayor Fleischmann appealed to
President Taft early in the cam
paign, with the result that the pres
ident wrote him letter, in which he
endorsed the Republican ticket, Pres
ident Taft's personality, thereby be-
came a direct issue in the campaign,
and in electing Hunt the Cincinnati
voters disregarded the presidents in
fuence and wishes.
Hunt is a strong supporter of Gov
ernor Harmon, and it is believed that
his election will materially advance
Harmon's chances for the Democrat
ic presidential nomination.
President Taft left here at A

KILLED BY
TERRIBLE
ACCIDENT
GEORGE LYNN PUGH INSTANTLY
KILLED BY DISCHARGE OF
SHOTGUN HIS COUSIN OTTO
BEATTY WAS CLEANING.

An accident resulting in the death
of George Lynn Pugh, occurred at his
home near Chemawa last evening
about $50 1t seems that he and his
cousin, Otto Beatty, were together at
the house, the latter being engaged
in cleaning shotgun, Of the ham
merelss variety.
The inquest will be held this af-
ternoon, at which time full details
can be learned, but until that time,
they are only to be gathered from in
ferences and the disconnected story
told by Beatty, who Is so unnerved
over the affair that he seems unable
to tell of 1t, and is under the Doctors
care. 1t appears though, that Pugh
was sitting in rocking chair In
front of the fire place, and Beatty
was cleaning the gun some few feet
back of him. In some manner the
gun was discharged, the load striking
Pugh in the middle Of the back, tear
ing the spine in two and ranging
downward, probably passing through
the heart, death being instantaneous.
The first known of the accident
was when Beatty arrived exhausted
and almost crazed by the terrible ac-
| cident, at the home of Chas. Clag-
gett, where he gasped, Lynn's shot;
/ shot him, and collapsed. He was
in a falntlng condition until early
/ this morning and is still dazed to-
day An inquest was begun at 2:30
this afternoon, which will be rigid,
as It is desired that the matter be
thoroughly cleaned up, as Pugh's
death will bring up property matters
Of great value.
What makes the accident the more
pltiful is that the dead man was the
only one Of the family left to COM
fort the declining years Of his Wild
owed mother His father, Sias G.
Pugh, died in 1909 and a sister
Josephine, passed away in 1903. The
