old home place, three miles east OF
the city, at about 4 o'clock on Satur-

second of this kind in this family, a
brother some twenty years ago having
been accidentally shot and killed.
Mr.. Loftin was out squirrel hunting
when the accident occurred. He was
at the edge of the woods at the old
homestead and had seated himself
on the ground for the purpose of TAX

While seated on the ground he had
placed his gun against a rock nearby.
Evidently the gun fell and was dis
charged when it fell an entire load
of No. Z shot entering the right side
of Mr.. Loftin, completely piercing his
intestines. They were literally shot
to pieces.
The gun was twelve bore and the
muzzle was so close to the deceased

burned. Mr.. Loftin lived more than
two hours after the accident and talk

He said that he had placed the gun
against rock and was examining
the shoe when there was an explo-
