The baby was playing in the kitchen while Tom, Jr., wan in the bed room playing with an old 12 gauge shot gun. Coming into the kitchen with a childish remark about hunting deer he pulled the trigger of the supposed empty gun The charge entered the baby's left side, part of the load penetrating the entire body while the remainder lodged in the lungs. Dr. Hocker was immediately summoned but could do nothing to save the little life, and death ensued about 15 minutes after the fatal shot. The sympathy of everybody is with the bereaved parents.

In a few minutes Mr. Larson and others were attacked to Johnson by some boys looking at his prostrate form along side the fence. They went out at once and finding hut little sign of life, carried him in, but aside from the movement of a few of the muscles of the face he was apparently dead. Mr. Larson had Dr. Hewetson called, at the company physician was not to be found. but he pronounced him dead when he arrived. Charley had been taking but little stimulants, during the day. and as his vital forces had been greatly reduced by his prolonged spree, he had not the strength to rally from the exhaustion of the strangling spell, and died of consequent heart failure.
