Henry WALTERS, who resided on the farm of J.R. Williams, in Valley township,
this county, accidentally shot and killed himself on Sunday last. Wew was riding
in a sleigh, with his son, having a gun along. The sad affair occurred in this
way: he had shot a rabbit, which his boy went after, and during the latters'
absence the father proceeded to load the empty barrel of the double-barreled
shot gun. In doing this, while his attention was away from the weapon, he moved
it so that the loaded barrel was discharged, the shot taking affect in his side
with the fatal result above alluded to. Mr. Walters had not been a resident of
Vally but a few months. His remains were brought to La Cygne Tuesday, and sent
from here to Illionis, his former home, for interment.
