  At Clearfield on Sunday morning a distressing shooting accident 
occurred by means of which Victor Ball, aged 16 years, a member of a 
prominent family, was instantly killed by his brother, Lawrence, two 
years his senior.  The boys were examining a revolver, discussing its 
merits.  The weapon was held in Lawrence's hand when in some manner it 
was discharged.  Victor was standing in front of his brother, and close 
to him, and the bullet struck him fairly in his head, entering his 
brain and killing him instantly.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa., Friday, November 28, 1902
