Another Death from Foolhardy Handling of Firearms 

Frank Lape, a Moxham youth, yesterday paid the penalty of foolhardy handling of a 
revolver while picking berries near Franklin in company with another boy named Albert 
Stemmer.  Lape had, it appears, discharged two shots out of the revolver when a third, 
failing to explode, he turned the muzzle of the weapon towards him to examine the 
cause, when the cartridge exploded, the bullet striking him in the breast and ranged 
downwards toward the heart, from the result of which death followed in a few minutes.
