Killed Accidentally.
Peter Thompson Dies From Shot Gun Wound on Farm Near Mayetta.

Following closely on the Marshall tragedy yesterday morning, Peter THOMPSON lost
his life on a farm four mils east of Mayetta. He was killed by the accidental
discharge of a shot gun.
Thompson was a brother-in-law of Geroge HANSEN and had come out to the farm near
Mayetta to visit. His home is in Kansas City were he is a carpenter, 41 years
old, and married. 
Yesterday morning Thompson took the shot gun out to hunt squirrels. About 10:30
his sister, Mrs. Hanson heard a groan in the wood near the house and went out to
find her brother dying from a gun shot wound in the breast. He had been climbing
through a wire fence, dragging the gun after him when it was discharged. Death
followed instantly. Undertaker GABEL brought the body to Holton last evening.
Thompson's wife in Kansas City was notified and she will arrive this morning
when funeral arrangements will be made.
