Last Wednesday morning about 7 o'clock, when in the act of crossing his 
fence with a loaded shot gun, Mr. Fernand Judice had the misfortune of 
having the entire portion of his head blown off, no one witnessing the 
accident. it seems that Mr. Judice was leaving his home, situated in Little 
Fausee Pointe preparatory to a days hunt as was his custom for many years, 
and when in the act of getting through a barbed wire fence only a few feet 
away, the hammer of his gun in some manner got caught in the wire prongs, 
causing its discharge and the entire load of shot penetrated one side of his 
head, blowing his brains as much as twelve feet from where the body lay. The 
Coroner, Dr. J. W. K. Shaw, beng (sic) absent from this City at the time of 
the accident, Sheriff Henderson succeeded in getting Dr. Guy A. Shaw of 
Loreauville to hold the inquest over the body. From what we can learn, Mr. 
Judice was an excellent citizen in the prime of life, being only about 35 
years of age, leaving a mother and several sisters to mourn his loss.
