Mr. J.H. Bryant Dies From Pistol Wound

The Shooting Which Occurred Early Wednesday Morning Supposed to Have Been
Accidental

The news of the fatal wounding and subsequent death of Mr. J. Horace Bryant, the
result of a pistol ball piercing his left breast, the gun being fired by Mr.
Bryant himself, was the source of great sorrow to his many friends as the news
spread rapidly Wednesday morning.

The shooting took place about four o’clock yesterday morning at the home of Mr.
Bryant and in a room adjoining that occupied by his wife and child who were
awakened by the report of the pistol.

As he had been troubled for several nights by strange dogs about his place, it
is the presumption that Mr. Bryant was after these when he stumbled over some
object in the room causing the pistol, which he held in his hand, to be fired
unexpectedly, as he was in his night clothing and other evidence about the room
giving rise to this opinion.

Mr. Bryant was an industrious farmer and one of the county’s good citizens.  He
resided near Norwich, 12 miles west of Butler, and was about 43 years of age.

Besides his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Hattie McGinty, Mr. Bryant is
survived by one child, a brother, Mr. G.F. Bryant, of Rupert, and his mother.
