Young Boy Killed
Result Accidental
Discharge of Gun

Kenneth, the seven-year old son
of Editor and Mrs w. A. Earring
ton of Rosholt, was shot and instant
ly killed by the accidental dis
charge OF a small shot gun in the
hands of an older boy Wednesday
afternoon of this week The little
chap was going home from school
when he saw these older boys with
a gun, sitting on the back steps of
the drug store building. He went
over to where they We're, and mo-
ment later the gun was discharged,
the charge of small shot at very
close range struck him squarely in
the chest making hole the size of
a dollar and causing instant death.
II is one of those accidents so gross
ly careless that parental instinct
cannot guard against, and so terri
BILE in results as to seem impossible.
III was Il Small SIlOl gun KNOWN as u
40 size, and was owned by the
young son of Oscar Erickson. AT
the time of the shooting it was in
the hands of another boy, who it is
said has on previous occasions point
ed the gun at playmates. The poin:
is that any small boy who owns
gun is menace to the community,
and parents who permit their small
boys to carry loaded guns about the
streets, are morally, if not GRIMM
ally, responsible.
Kenneth was the baby of the
household, bright sturdy little
fellow. the idol of his parents, and
loved by all who knew him. The
people of the community are doing
everything possible to assuage the
poignant grief of the parents, but
in the face of such tragedy there
is SO little that one may do.
The funeral will be held Friday
of this week at Rosholt-Roberts
County Record.
