SAD ACCIDENT KILLS FARMER

Louis, Wolfram, of Grey Eagle, is Killed Friday Afternoon in Hunting 
Accident.

While Carrying Gun, He Tripped and Fell--- Gun was Discharged, Shot 
Passing Through Body.

Grey eagle Correspondence:

Louis Wolfram was accidentally killed at his farm about 4:30 o’clock.

He had taken his shotgun and gone to his granary to shoot a rabbit. His 
wife heard the gun go off and then a scream. She ran out to find him 
lying unconscious. Austin Miller who had just come to the farm with the 
school children helped carry Mr. Wolfram into the house and then hurried 
to Grey Eagle as fast as possible for a doctor, but Mr. Wolfram died
 before medical help could reach him.  As near as can be told, Mr. 
Wolfram caught his foot in a piece of wire that was frozen in the ground. 
He tripped and fell, striking the hammer of the gun, which exploded, the 
charge striking him in the side and passing entirely through his body.

He is survived by his widow and four small children, the oldest being 9 
years of age, the youngest 6 weeks old. This is the same family that lost
a little son in the cyclone which swept over this neighborhood about 
eighteen months ago.  The family is indeed sorely inflicted and the 
sympathy of the entire community goes out to them in their sorrow.
