The little five year old girl of Bill
Hall was at his brothers., Chas. Hall,
last Monday two weeks ago and the
little four year old son of Chas. Hall
was playing with a double shotgun,
which had been sitting in corner.
The gun was loaded with "B-B" shot.
The little girl was sitting on the floor,
playing with a cat. She told the little
boy, (John) to shoot the cat. He shot
at the cat with one barrel of the gun
and shot the girl, (Bertha) through
the thigh just above the knee. One
end of the bone struck through the
flesh and skin on top and the other
end went through the other side. DR..
Stafford was called that night and
DR.. Gorden of Bunker, and DR.. Con-
way Of Stonehill came the next day
and they performed an operation on
the little girl taking the limb off, but
| it was all in vain. She died in less
than two hours afterwards. She leaves
father and mother, two brothers and
a host of other relatives to mourn her
loss. She was laid in the cemetery at
Boss. We all extend our sympathy
to the ones left behind. Itwas thought
the mother would become insane, but
she is slowly recovering.

pay years ago last November She

three girls, forty two grandchildren
and between thirty FIVE and forty
great grandchildren to mourn hei
loss. She fell one year, nine monthl
and ten days before she died and
threw her hip joint out Of joint, ant
has been bedfast ever since. But We
have the happy thoughts OF meeting
her on the golden streets OF brighter
and happier world on high where
peace and pleasure shall never end.
