WILLIAM CARR IS
SHOT BY GUNNER
Bargaintown Boy Dies as Result
of Wound in Head-Gun Was
Discharged by Uncle.
HURRIED TO HOSPITAL.

Accidentally shot by his uncle as he
was accompanying him on a cunning
trip on Wednesday morning, William
Carr, aged Is years, of Bargaintown,
died soon after receiving his injury.
The tragedy occurred in the thick
woods between the Zion and Mays
Landing roads, and about a half mile
from the Bargaintown Mill road.
The gun that killed the boy was be-
ing carried by his uncle, Alfred Nc
Cheesney, 25, who lived with the Carr
family. According to the story of the
tragedy told by McCheesney, he re-
turned home earlier than usual We'd
nesday, and announced that he had
been laid off from work temporarily,
and hat inasmuch as he had nothing
to do, he'd go out and kill a couple
of rabbits" He asked the boy if he
wanted to go along, and the youth
readily consented.
While trudging through the woods
about a half mile from the house, Nc
Cheesney, who was carrying the gun
cooked" for action in the crook of his
arm, suddenly stumbled when one of
his feet became entangled in some
weeds. AS he fell he accidentally
pressed the trigger of one of the bar
rels of the gun.
The entire shot entered the left side
of the face of the Carr boy, who was
walkthg about rs feet IN advance Of
his uncle at the time. McCheesney
notified the youths parents of what
had occurred, and told them to go to
the boys aid, while he went for a doc
tor.
McCheesney came hurrying back
when he was unable to find the physi-
clan. The injured boy was placed
aboard the small farm truck and full
speed put on for the Atlantic City
Hospital. The youth died as the ma
chine was racing over the Albany ave
nue. boulevard.
McCheesney, father of three chill
dren himself, was not arrested by the
authorities, but has promised to ap-
pear before Prosecutor Repetto and
explain the full circumstances of the
tragedy.
The funeral of Carr was held this
Friday at 2.30 p. M. at Zion Church,
in charge of director Elisha Adams,
and interment was made in Zion Gem
etery.

A general tie-up of the Suburban
Trolley Line occurred on Thursday
when the motormen and conductors

bound for Atlantic City High School
and business people who usually start
out early in the morning.
Every man walked out when they
were notified by the management that
cars would hereafter be manned BY
one-man crews only instead of the two
men crews, which had been agreed
upon some months ago after a short
controversy, except during the morn
ing and evening hours of heavier traf-
de. The men decided that they would
remain out altogether rather than take
cars out with only one man TO operate
them. The employees held a meeting
on Thursday afternoon and again on
Friday morning and decided to re
main firm in their demand that two
men be placed OF every a operated
1t was expected that about three
cars would be operated between here
and Atlantic City on Friday morning,
manned by shop men as crews, but for
some reason these cars did moi move
In the meantime the public is consid-
erably aroused over the latest devel-
opment on the Suburban line. The
management claims that not enough
revenue is being derived 10 pay Two
