was accidently shot while cunning for
ducks on the st, Mary's river. Mr.. Hill
ton grasped his gun by the muzzle and
was pulling it out Of the boat, when it
was discharged, the load striking him
in the right shoulder. About an hour

young Hilton crawling across the field
towards the home OF Alfred @. Sanner
Mr.. 5anner was Immediately notified,
and placing the boy In q buggy carried
him to his house and at once telephoned
for DR.. Hooper Lynch aud County Com
missioner John L Hilton, the boys I'M
Gle. They came as speedily as possible,
but too late to render any assistance.

as DIR Lynch reached the house. The
accident is supposed to have happened
about $3.50, Pm.
Hooper Hilton was a model son and a
young man OF brightest promise. His
father is blind and the young man
spIendldly managed the affairs of the
fern and was everything that a consid-
crate and dutiful son could be to his pa
rents, who have our heartfelt sympathy
in their sad bereavement Hooper Hill
ton was truly model for young men
and was shining light 10 his section Of
