The  Oakley  GRAPHIC, Oakley, Logan County,  Kansas; Friday, April 24,  1891 May 8, 1891
Norton.--A sad tragedy occurred here.  The 11-year-old son of F. M.  DUVALL, 
editor of the Courier, during the absence of his parents, secured a  revolver, 
and having, as he thought, extracted all the cartridges, proceeded to  
frighten all the other children by snapping it at them.  Then, to assure  them
there 
was no danger, he placed the muzzle against his forehead {space?}  pulled the 
trigger, when a bullet went crashing through his brain, he having  failed to 
extract all the charges.
