MoTHER-FATHER WA, KILLED
IN MINE ACCIDENT.

A most distressing accident oc.
cured to mar the Christmas joy of the
adjoining city of Monongah on yester.
day, when Way Walls. II II year old
lad of that city, accidentally sno,
himself with shot gun while out
hunting, his head being torn from his
body by the shot.
Walls aud n lad named Tom Car!in,
both OF the same age, accompanied
Abe Awhile and brother of Ray
Walls by The name OF Wade Walls out
hunting Yesterday, and after having
chased a rabbit into its hole, the boys
proceeded 10 dig him out. This re.
quired considerable work and tired
the hays out. SO that Ray Wells and
Tom Carlin sat down to rest, the other
boys having gone on.
Ray and Carlin sat down on n pile
ol slabs. Ray resting his chin on his
gun. while Carlin leaned against him,
and in some manner the gun was ex.
ploded. probably by a slab falling and
striking the trigger of the gun.
When the gun Went off. the charge
of shot completely decaptated Wallis
bady. and stunned Carlin so that he
lay for some time beside the dead
body OF his comradc before he recov.
cred consciousness.
Mr., ]. H. Holbert. hearing the re-.
port of the gun near his home, and
seeing the smoke coming from the
boys clothing where it was on fire. In.
vcstgated, and found the lad as
above described.
The boys body was sitting upright,
the head lying on the ground nearby,
and 1t was this ghastIy and gruesome
sight which met Mr.. Holbert's gaze
when he noared the boys.
After an investigation the body was
removed to the home of the boys
mother near the Monongah No. 5 mine.
the body later being removed to the
Cunningham morgue in this city,
where 1t was prepared for burial. and
tomorrow 1t will bc shipped to Pres.
ton county, this State, for burial.
A miraculous feature was the cs.
cape of Carlln, who had his arm
around the shoulder OF Ray Wells, the
charge of shot passing over his arm
when the gun went of.
A very sad part OF the accident is
the fact that Ray was one of his moth
er's chief supports, the father and
brother having been injured In a mine
accident last year, the father dying
and the son having to have his leg
amputated.
