YOUNG LAD KILLED
IN AWFUL ACCIDENT
Boy, Eight Years Old, Kills
His Younger Brother, Four
Years Old.

A terrible tragedy occurred near
Woods, lizard county, about 20 clock
Wednesday afternoon, when DeIbert,
the S-year-Old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
viii Henson shot and killed his
little brother, aged 4 years, whose
name was Walker
Mr.. and Mrs. Henson had gone to
the field, leaving Delbert, the oldest
child to care for two younger child
rem during their absence. AS he
left the house the father told his
son not to touch a shotgun, which
was heavily loaded and hanging
over the door.
The parents had not been gone
from the house but a short time
when they heard a gun fire, and
fastening to the house they found
their 4-year-old son dead. The lad 5
head was literally blown from his
body, and parts of the skull and
brain were scattered all about the
room.
The older son, Delbert, had used
a chair and reached the gun, which
he, accidentally or unthoughtedly of
course, used to such terrible effect.
When the parents reached the scene
the boy had returned the gun to its
place.
This is one Of the saddest affairs
that ever occurred in that section of
the country, and many friends deep
ly sympathize with the parents in
their distress.
