that it was desirable that the Social

MRS. HANNAH STEVENS
KILLED BY HER SON

A distressing accident occurred last
Saturday night on the river about
twelve miles west OF Elko in Moleen
canyon. A colored man by the name
OF Stevens with his wife and four
year-old stepson were on fishing trip
and the boy started to play with a
$500 rifle that was left on the bank.
The mother was cleaning fish a short
distance away and was facing the boy.
She told him to leave the gun alone
and to get away from it, but the words
were hardly out of her mouth when
the weapon was discharged. The
bullet entered near the center of the
abdomen and passed through the body,
making its exit near the spinal col
umn.
The accident occurred about three
o'clock. AS soon as possible the injur-
ed woman was brought to Elko and
placed in the county hospital where
she died that evening about eight
o'clock.
Judge Doughty held coroner's in
quest over the remains and a verdict
was rendered that the deceased came
to her death by a gunshot wound, &C
cidentaly inflicted by her son, Enrol
T. Stevens.
The deceased was a three.quartel
breed Indian woman. and she was
about forty years of age. She was
the daughter of Captain Hicks, who
for many years lived on Meadow Greek
in the north end OF this county. In
her girlhuod she worked as a domestic
with local families. and was educated
in the public schools. Besides heI
husband she leaves several children
to mourn her loss.
