Bellingham,Sept.15- Freddie Dardine,aged 9 years,was shot and killed in a 
cabin near Nooksack,about ten miles from here,this afternoon.An old man who 
alone inhabited the cabin may be held responsible for the lad's death.

door of the cabin open,the two entered.A small caliber rifle was lying on the 
table,and the elder of the lads started to pick it up.As he did so the man in 
the cabin jumped toward the table and snatched the gun. The weapon was 
discharched and the bullet tore away the lad's trachea.The loss of blood 
caused death in half an hour.
