Wounded Kamela Man Could Not Stand Shock
La Grande,Or.,Sept.24-(Special)
C.H.Carlson,a prominent wood dealer at Kamela,25 miles west of La Grande,who 
accidentally shot himself in the arm on September 15,while returning from a 
hunting trip in the mountains,died in LaGrande last night. The arm was 
amputated at the shoulder a few hours after the accident.
The cause of his death is attributed to the fact of his having catarrh of the 
stomach,and soon after his being shot he was given some bitters from a country 
store in Kamela.The natural condition of his stomach,the bitters and the great 
shock were too much for him and caused poisoning.
Mr.Carlson leaves a wife and family at Kamela.He was a middle aged man and one 
of the most progressive men  in that district.
