ACCIDENTAL RIFLE DISCHARGE
KILLS II YEAR OLD BOY
Joseph DOnnan, Son of Magistrate
DOnnan, Accidentally Killed by
Playmate.

A very sad accident occurred at Var
| borough's bridge on Enoree River
Monday about l o'clock when Joseph
Donnan, the young II year old son OF
Magistrate j. w. Donnan was accident
ally killed by bis playmate, Hillrcd
Hill, of about the same age. Young
| Hill is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. b. b.
| Kill, OF this city, both Of whom are
greatly distressed over the dcporable
occurrence. The news of the accident
was heard in the city within very
short time and many expressions of
sympathy and sorrow were heard on
all sides.
1t appears that the two young boys
were with their elders out seining.
Young Hill was in the water with the
men and Joseph Donnan was on the
river bank. A duck or a large bird of
some KIND alighted in the water above
the party and young Donnan took a
repeating rifle to shoot at him. There
were only two cartridges in the gun
and when these were empticd he came
back to get some moro. Young Hill ac-
companicd him to where the clothes
and other things were to get the cart
ridges and when the cartridges were
found took charge Of the gun and cvi-
IDENTITY tried to load it as the two were
haStlly returning to get another shot
at the duck. While in the act OF load
ing IT, the hammer was sprung i'm somc
way and the gun went off. The bullet
struck young Donnan Just behind the
right jaw ad beneath the ear, entirely
penetrating the head and coming ou
about the left temple The boy fell
to the ground at once and all the party
rushed to his assistance, but within
less than half an hour he had passed
away.
The deceased was a very bright lad
and popular among all his playmatcs.
He was a manly young fellow possess
Ing many characteristics which en-
dearcd him to his elders as we'll as
the young people. His funeral service,
held at Sandy Spring church ycster-
day afternoon, was largely attended by
many who wished to show their sym
pathy to the bereaved family.
