DIED OF LOCKJAW.
Injuries Resulting from the Explosion of a Blank Cartridge Caused the 
Death of Archibald Huber. 

  Archibald, a young son of Francis and Mary Huber, 502 Twenty-third 
street, died at an early hour yesterday morning of tetanus, which was 
caused by a pistol wound.  The boy, who, while firing black cartridges 
from a revolver some time ago, shot himself in the palm of the left 
hand, and although a physician was immediately called and gave the lad 
proper medical treatment, became the victim of the fatal disease and 
nothing could be done to save his life.  He was born June 15, 1892. 
The funeral will take place from the Sacred Heart church at 9 tomorrow 
morning.  Interment will be made in Calvary cemetery.
