Grand Jury Fails..to
Indict Osakis Boy
Shooting of Walter Abers at Road
Camp Held Accidental-Lynn
Carter AbsOlved of Blame

Lynn Carter, the 14-year-old Osa-
kis boy, held to the Todd county
grand jury, pending a hearing as the
result Of the shooting Of Walter Alb
ers, another Osakis boy, at road
camp near West Union several weeks
ago, was absolved of all blame for the
death Of Abers, when the matter was
threshed out by the grand jury last
week at Long Prairie.
The fact that Abers at the time he
was shot was Harvesting team in
the road and was not a party to- the
quarrel in which Carter was member
the jury held, was evidence that the
killing of the man was an accident.
Carter, according to the story, had
engaged in quarrel with men at the
road camp, and in his fury, had got
possession of gun with the intention
as he is alleged to have said, of "get-
ting" one of his tormenters.
Abers was shot when another made
an effort to take the gun away from
Carter.
The grand jury decided that the
death of Abers was due to accident
and that no one could be directly
blamed for it.
