McDaniel and J.F. Reeves of Veto, brought the sad news that the little 10 or 12 year old son of Mr. O.H. Aufil was playing with the barrels of an old shot gun and poured some powder in one barrel and put his mouth to the muzzle, it went off, no one knows how, and killed the boy instantly. The skin shout his mouth was slightly broken and the jaw bone broken in two or three places, he fled freely at one ear but there were not other breaks in the skin. Mr. And Mrs. Aufil were in the yard at the time and Mr. Aufil ran in and picked the boy up but he never breathed or struggled.
