While climbing over a fence both barrels of his gun were discharged, the contents entering his breast and probably killing him instantly. A lad who was with him ran for assistance. Before it arrived the dead lad's clothing took fire and exploded the shells carried in his belt, tearing his abdomen in a terrible manner. Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa., Friday, October 31, 1902
