Missed Aim; Killed
Editor H. Warren
From Tuesdays Daily.

fdGSodJ Sdtty.
Henry Warren, editor of the Win
dom Reporter, was fatally injured
by being shot in the eye while out
hunting few miles to the east of
Window early yesterday morning
The man who fired the unfortunate
charge was Ben Frost, young
farmer of the neighborhood.
Mr.. Warren early Monday morn
ing went out to hunt prairie chick
ems with a party of about eight.
After the party had bagged quite a
number of chickens. Mr.. Warren hap
pened to be standing near the pile
which had not been actually killed,
but only partly disabled, few up and
attempted to get away. Mr.. Frost
quickly raised his gun and fired at
the escaping bird. His aim was bad
and Mr. Warren received the shot
in his right eye, head and shoulder.
The wounded man was picked up
and placed in an automobile, which
some members OF the party had
brought. In this he was able to
sit up. supported by his companions,
while he was hurried to the hospital
at Window.
Did Not Look For Death.
II was known at the time that part
of the shots pierced the right eye
ball, and 1t was certain that the eye
was destroyed, but this was believed
to be the most serious feature of
the situation. Neither Mr.. Warren
nor any of his companions dreamed
that the injury would cause death.
At the hospital Mr. Warren was
attended by DIR. l.. Sogge, who is the
coroner of Cottonwood county. On
account of the condition OF the
eye, DIR. J. II. James Of Mankato
was summoned to remove that organ.
About half past ten O'Clock i'm the
morning, about three hours after the
accident. Mr.. Warren was sitting
up a little, when he suddenly fell
back dead.
Mr.. Frost crazed With Grief.
No post-mortem examination was
held and the corner did not deem
1t necessary to hold an inquest, as
the affair was purely the result of
an accident. The young farmer who
fired the gun that killed Mr.. Warren
is reported to be almost crazed with
grief over the incident. II is not
thought that the authorities will take
any action against him.
Mr.. Warren was about fifty years
old. He Is survived by his wife
and two sons, John, aged twenty.
clerk in Window store, and Vance,
aged ten. Mrs Henrietta Warren,
mother of the victim, also survives
him.
There are also two brothers and
sister. One of these brothers,
George Warren, is also editor of
The Window Reporter. The other
is living in the west. The sister
is Mrs. Stoughton, wife of a Baptist
clergyman, who has. temporarily re-
tired to farm near Window for
the benefit OF his health.
Once Lived In Wisconsin.

seven years ago. he returned to VIM

Mr.. Warren was a member of the
Presbyterian church at Window, and
was a Mason and Modern Woodman.

Late this afternoon the city coun

Der to vote on the proposed issue
of refunding bonds in the sum of

able as follows: Ten one-thousand
dollar bonds in 1920, four one-thous-
and dollar bonds each year for the
next thirteen years, and FIVE one
thousand dollar bonds in 1884. 1t
was thought by the council that the
bonds could not be sold to private
investors at par unless they bore
five percent interest and thus s67O
a year would be saved to the city
by selling the bonds to the state.
The council this afternoon also
gave its approval to the plans for
the new switching yards of the Mil
waukee railroad near the tub fac
tory, and other changes incident
thereto.

left Chester Monday night, the pris-

DR.. Allen R. Law, dressed in neat

the gates, kissed her, and took car
riage for the station. They arrived in
Madison at 9:05 o'clock the same night.
The doctor, whose case attracted at
tention throughout the state, was the
center of interest on the train Madison
bound Monday night. DR.. Law appeared
slightly older than he did when sentenced
about two years ago. He was convict
ed of manslaughter in the death of Mrs.
Anna O'Brien by an alleged criminal
operation. The case was marked by
great devotion by his wife. Mrs. Law
has appeared several times before the

efforts to gain him pardon, and has
visited him many times at the prison.

DECIDE To UNITE
VILLAGE SCHOOLS
County Board of Education
Holds Session on Tues
day.

On Tuesday the county board of edu-
cation held meeting at the Sank vii
la ges and decided to unite the
two schools of the villages.
A meeting was held two weeks
ago and it was decided then to postpone
reaching a definite decision until the
matter could be thoroughly considered.
Prairie du Sac has decided to build a
new school building and as Sank City is
IN need of one the county board of edu-
cation thinks the right thing to do is to
unite the two schools and thus make
stronger educational center. There is
some opposition at Prairie du Sac, but
whether or not anything will be done to
oppose the action of the board is not
known. In case the new union building
is erected it will be in Marion
park located between the
two villages. All of the
members of the board and County Su-
perintendent G. w. Davies were pres
ent at the meeting The board is COM
