A Killing Near Sedalia.
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 (

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.
