Seymour, Texas, November 1907

Olin Hoover, a little boy of 12 years of age, was accidentally shot and killed 
yesterday by Walker Johnson, a 10-year-old boy. They were out hunting and just 
as Walker discharged his gun at some ducks on a pond, Olin moved in front of the 
gun, and the entire load of shot entered his head, causing instant death. Olin 
was a very bright boy. This sad occurrence is very much deplored by his many 
friends and the friends of the two families.
