ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS
HIMSELF.
STANLEY GORSUCH'S DEAD BODY
FOUND BY HIS MOTHER.

One of the most distressing things
that has occurred in this county for
some time was the death on last
Tuesday morning of young Stanley
Gorsuch who accidentally shot him
self with single barrel shotgun.
The boy, who was Is years of age,
was the son OF Mr. and Mrs. B. Frank
Gorsuch who live about half a mile
west Of Gambler Tuesday morning
about half-past seven O'Clock, he
went into the dining room Of his
home with his gun in his hand. His
grandfather, Eli r.. Bennett, who also
resides there, asked what he was 60
ing to do with the gun "Oh nothing
much replied the boy, II have only
one she'll"
Young Gorsuch then went out
doors, and about a half hour after
ward, his mother, who was returning
to the house from the dairy, saw the
dead body Of her son lying on the
ground about ten yards from the
house. There were burns on his left
hand and mouth and a three-inch
wound at the base of his skull. The
gun had been discharged, the load
entering the mouth and going out at
the skull. The shell bears marks Of
having been struck by the hammer
three times, and it il supposed that
the boy. after an attempt to fire,
blew in the muZzle.
Dr. r. $. Wells was summoned but
death had evidently been instanta-
neous. The boys uncle, E. Elmer
Bennett, stated that he had heard a
sharp, short report but had not paid
any attention. to it thinking that
someone was hunting in a nearby
woods. Coroner Hill who came and
viewed the body decided that death
was accidental.
Besides his parents, young Cor
such is survived by an older brother,
Oscar Gorsuch, Of Binghampton, N.
4. Mrs. Price Goodwin, of this city,
is an aunt
The funeral took place yesterday,
November 2, at Mt. Pleasant Metho-
dist Episcopal Church at Gambler, at
2:30 o'clock, Rev. 2. @. Gisriel Of
ficiated assisted by Rev S. F. Cassen
and Rev. Harry Spencer The floral
tributes were numerous and beauti-
full. The palIbearers were Irving
Buckingham, Elmer Shaffer, Jarrett
Shauck, Vernon Green, Oscar Monroe
and German Jordan. f. a. Sharrer

His Eminence made a response full
OF deep feeling to the greetings civ
en- him and called especial attention
to the words Of DR.. Herring, saying
that it had ever been his own rule of
life not to allow differences in relig-
ious belief to interfere with his social
and friendly relations with others,
and that the platform Of charity is
broad enough to contain us all. The
reception followed, the Cardinal
clasping the hands and speaking
words Of friendly greeting to about
800 persons.
