day morning at the residence of
Isaac Webb, residing on the farm
of Mrs.Susan Bell, four miles from
this town in the direction of Ken
ton, resulting in the death of his
son, Richard Webb, a young man
of Fl years of age. A neighbor,
a young man of the same age
named Samuel Boyd, came over to
Mr.. Webb's house between nine
and ten o'clock and asked for a
younger brother, as if to have his
company to go cunning. Just how
the fatal accident occurred is not
clearly stated, but it seems the de
ceased took hold of the gun as if
in playful way to take it from
him to look at, in doing which the
hammer caught in the overalls of
the owner which discharged the
gun, the whole load entering the
abdomen Of the young man from
which he died about four o'clock
in the afternoon. His case was
past medical assistance from the
first. A coroner's inquest held
Monday rendered a verdict of &C
cidental death and the young man
was buried yesterday
