Case of "Fooling'*

Asheville, N. (J., special in
Charlotte Observer: A shocking
and latal accident occurred
iu West Asheville this morning
about 7 o'clock when Herman
Andrews, the 7-year old son ot
T. M. Andrews, of that place,
was either accidentally shot and
killed by his i)-year-old brother
or else himself accidentally dis
charged the gun that sent a
charge of shot into his breast,
resuiuug in amiost instant death.
It seems that the two children
had beeu sent up stairs to get
ready for school. In the room
was a shotgun which Mr. Andrews
had loaded tor some pur
pose a few days since and from
which he had forgotten to withdiswthe
load. After the children
had been upstairs a few
minutes there was a report of a
gun and those nurrving to the
scene found the little 7 year-old
boy lying on the lloor breathing
his last, with a great gaping
wound in the breast. The 9year
old lad had shoved the gun
under tho bed. lie was almost
' speechless and couldn't tell exactly
how the accident happened
further than to snv flint th? mm

went off. It is believed that the
children were either "fooling"
with the weapon when the eider
brother pressed the trigger and
accidentally fired the gun or else
little Herman was pushing the
gun around the bed when the
trigger caught and the weapon
was fired.
