^ CONSUMPTION
Accidentally Killed.
The sixteen-year-old son of Mr. Swan
Faris, who lives in the Maud section,
was accidentally killed Friday after
noon by the bursting of a gun. The
young man. it seems, was out hunting
with a cheap gun and had put in such
a charge of powder that when he fired
the breech blew out, striking him in
the head. The unfortunate young man
lived only a few hours.
This was indeed, a very sad affair,
and the heart-broken parents have the
deepest sympathy of the "entire com
munity.
