coMRADE ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS HIS MATE.
A Sad Happening at the Missouri
Military Academy.

Perry Hazelton, a st, Louis lad
at the Missouri Military
Academy, in this city, was shot
accidentally and killed last Sat
urdav afternoon by Thomas
Broughton. another st. Louis ca
def enrolled at the school.
Hazleton was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. w. Hazleton.
Hazleton, who was under in
structions not to leave the
academy campus because of an
infringement Of the school rules,
slipped away, it is said, with
three companions to the woods,
inst back of the school grounds
They had with them 22-cali-
Der target rife, with which they
were practicing. Hazleton had
lust returned from placing the
target for Broughton and was
standing near him when the gun
was discharged.
The bullet entered the lads
neck just above the chest and
lodged in his head, severing
blood vessel. He lived only about
five minutes.
Broughton cannot explain how
the weapon happened to go off.
The other two boys in the party
were Stuart Alden and Thomas
Lohman. cadets from st. Louis.
The dead lad was IL years old
and an only child.
Alden and Lohman unite in de-
claring that the shooting was ac-
cidental, because of the position
of the gun when discharged.
Broughton could not realize for a
minute what had happened. The
rife belonged to Ha2leton.
Col. Kohr, president Of the
Academy, and company of ca
diets accompanied the remains to
st. Louis Sunday afternoon.

j. L. Sappington, near Cen
tralia, says gastric collie is what is
killing the horses of this section.
The disease, he says, is caused by
eating Of bad corn. In dry years
there is a fly that deposits her
eggs upon the tassels, ears and
fodder. These eggs produce a
worm that eats into the corn, and
produces a dust. This dust con-
tains poison that bloats horses
and often causes death. Cows,
too, are affected, but not so gem
orally, or so seriously He treated
only two cows. Hogs, too, are af-
fected. Last season was the third |
of this kind in fifteen years. Many
farmers avoided the poison in the .
corn by shelling il before feed
ing. Smelling separates the corn |
from the dust, which seems to |
contain most of the poison, Vet /
erinaries are advising a mixed .
feed of hay and other food. Ex-
periences show this is best.
