MEETS DEATH BY GUN ACCIDENT

Son of Dr. O. M. Drake Dies in Salt Lake From Gun Wounds 

Clyde Drake the 13 year old son of Dr. O.M. Drake of this city died Sunday 
morning in Salt Lake from wounds from the accidental discharge of a 32 
automatic pistol. 

The boy was visiting at the home of his brotherinlaw, A. E. Von Harien and the 
accident occurred about ten days ago, when the boy was left at home to take 
care of Mrs. Von Harien's children. 

He was on the bed with a four months old baby when the next youngest, 2 years 
old came into the room with the pistol in his hands. Clyde asked for the gun 
and in some way the gun was fired, the bullet entering near his nose and came 
out near his left ear. For some days it was thought his condition was not 
dangerous and every hope was entertained for his recovery. However he suffered 
a relapse and died on Sunday morning. 

Mr. and Mrs. Drake arrived in New Plymouth this morning with the body of their 
son and the funeral will be held today, interment being made in Park View 
cemetery.
