Oakley GRAPHIC, Oakley, Logan County, Kansas; 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.
