A FATAl ACCIDENT.

cumbs !o Wound Received in Hnnling.
Georgetown, December 2:?
Arthur F Ward died at 9.15
o'clock this morning as the result
of gunshot wounds accidentally
received while hunting
ducks in the rice fields on
the Santee river yesterday afternoon.
His death was due primarily
to shock and loss of blood
and the long interval of suffering
from the fearful wound in
his thigh before medical aid
could be secured. He was conscious
throughout the night and
up to within a few moments of
J tl

cheerfulness, which caused those
at his bedside to hope that there
was still a chance for life. But his
vitality had received too severe
a shock and strain and he breathed
his last peacefully, surrounded
by loving members of
his family and devoted friends.
The deepest sympathy of the
whole community is felt for the
afflicted mother and father,
sisters and brothers of the young
man, who was but 26 years of
age, whose standing in the
business world he had already
won, and whose noble traits of
character gave promise of an honorable
and brilliant career. Several
years ago another boy of great
promise was lost to these fond
parents under similar circum-|
stances, making this additional;
blow even harder to them.
Another sad^feature was the fact
that Mr Ward was engaged to
be married in the spring and
this prospective happy union
of lovimr hp?rt.s h?<? been forever
cut short. Mr Ward was a!
member of the Episcopal church,
in which he was very active,
being an officer of Ihe local
Brotherhood of St Andrew, and
exhibited in his daily life the
highest teachings of Christianity.
The flags of the shipping in
port were half-masted to-day
in respect to the dead man.
