ACCIDENT/1 L SHOT WAS FATAL. CbAliie llolbiooks, Mn.- Lcars Old, l>ird Within Teu Minutos. * Last Wednesday Just as we went to press we had information that a child had been accidentally shot at thc home of Its purent? a short distance above Walhalla, but the facts obtain able were very meagre at that time. Charlie Holbrooks, the unfortunate child who lost his life, was, 9 years of age. and his brother, who shot him accidentally, ls only two years older. The parents of the children, Mr. and Mrs. Porter Holbrooks, had left them to take care of the house while they came to Walhalla on business, and Mr. Holbrooks left his wife here and went on to Wost Union, lt was less thai) an hour after they came to Wal halla that they received word of the fatal accident. The older child, see ing a gun hanging on the wall, climb ed on a chair to take lt down, and !t is supposed that the gun was in some way accidentally discharged theil or a little later. David, tho child who had the gun in lils hnnds, lias never been a' le to tell an entirely straight story of the accident, but we are In formed that he yesterday admitted that the gun was lu his hands when it was discharged, though at Drat he was 60 badly frightened that little could be gotten from lils statements. The unfortunate little fellow who ?was shot died about ten minutes later. Mrs. Johnson, a near neigh bor, heard the shot and screaming at the Holbrooks house and ran over to see what tho trouble was, and tho lit tle follow died a few minutes later. ?Mr. and Mrs. Holbrooks have the .sympathy of ?their friends In their sorrow. Tho body of Charlie Hol brooks was burled at the Phillips burying ground, on Long creek, Thursday evening. There is no other theory advanced than that the two boys were playing when the gun was accidentally discharged with fatal re sults. Coroner Kerr empanelled a jury of inquest, and an official luquiry into tho facts of tho case was begun, but the facts obtainable were so meagre that the deliberations of tho jury were continued. Another session of Hie jury of inquest will be hold at the scene of the supposed accident next Saturday. The fatal shot took effect in the child's body slightly to the left of the righi nipple, exposing the lungs, ranging downward and penetrating through the body on the left side a few inches above 'he hip.
