Monday, (Christmas day,) three negro boys and two white boys, of Sedalia, went on a days bunt, with dogs and guns. As they were returning, and near home, they concluded to have some fun and test ihooting, so one of the l>oys would throw up an empty shell, and they took time about shooting at the empty shells. After practicing in this way for awhile, one boy threw up his cap. Clarence Rochester, (white) held his gun, and in the gun was a shell upon which he had snapped several times and it failed to fire, and he again snapped it at the cap as it was thrown up. Just as he did so, William Thomas, Jr., a negro boy about 14 years old, ran ( A. il ' mi ?- i* 'i in num. ui niu gun. 1111s ume ine : shell exploded, and the whole load t at short range went into the fore- J head of Will Thomas, killing him instantly, greatly to the alarm and ponsternation of young Rochester, The coroner was immediately noti- f lied. At the inquest the four boys who were present at the killing, all testified as abovo related, and the verdict of the jury was that William ( Thomas, Jr., came to his death by a gun shot wound, gun discharged accidentally by Clarence Rochester.
