GUN FALLS, BOY KILLED

     Daniel, the 16 year old son on Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schmidt of Guler, was accidentally shot Tuesday afternoon. A gun which he carried on the rake he was riding in the hay field fell off and was discharged, the loads of both barrels passing through his abdomen.
     His parents were out in the huckleberry fields, and only his younger brothers and sisters were at home. They heard the shots but thought nothing of it. A half hour later they found their brother dying in the hay field.
