The Lake Odessa Times, Thursday, April 16, 1908

Lloyd Tuller, a Saranac boy, aged 12, was accidentally and instantly killed by 
Paul Stuart last Friday night.  The boys, with two companions, were playing 
Indian, and Stuart was the cowboy defending a fort which the boys had built on 
the outskirts of the town while the other three boys were the Indians and were 
trying to capture him. As they approached the fort, Stuart met them at the 
door with a 22-caliver rifle, that the boys had been using in their make-
believe Indian warfare.  According to statements made by the boys, Tuller 
grappled with him, and the weapon was accidentally discharged.  The bullet 
entered under the right eye and pierced the brain.

The unfortunate boy was a nephew of Arthur Leary, the liveryman, of this 
place, the boy’s mother being Mr. Leary’s sister.
