KILLED BY ACCIDENTAL DIS
CHARGE OF HIS SHOTGUN
Benjamin Huff, Aged 20 Years, Sue
cumbed to Injuries Last Thursday

cumbed to Injuries Last Thursday
While hunting for sqirrels in the
woods near Friendsville on last Thurs
day morning, Benjamin Huff, aged
seventy years, was killed almost in
stantly when his shotgun was acciden-
tally discharged, the shot and powder
blowing away the whole back part
of his head.
Mr.. Huff, upon leaving the home at
8 o'clock Thursday morning, told mem
bers of his family that he intended
going out into the woods and shoot a
squirrel for Mrs. Huff, who has been
an invalid for several years as the
result of an affection of the lungs. A
short time after he left the premises a
shot was heard by the family, but no
attention was paid to it, but when the
aged man failed to return after an alb
sence extending over several hours,
his son-in-law went out to look for
him and found his inert body hang g
over wire fence, with the discharC d
firearm lying on the ground nearby
1t is believed by those who saw the
position of the man before his body
was removed from the fence that in
attempting to scale it the trigger of
his shotgun struck an obstacle, which
caused it to be discharged and that
his death resulted almost instantly
Following the finding of the re-
mains, coroner's jury was summoned
by Justice of the Peace Jasper Guard
and after making a thorough investi-
cation of the circumstances surround
ing Mr.. Huff's death the jury brought
in a verdict of accidental death.
Mr.. Huff was highly esteemed by
everyone residing in Friendsville and
the community surrounding.
