A Shocking Accident.
Mrs. Harry Kitzmiller was in
stantly killed Friday afternoon by
the accidental discharge ot a shot
gun, the accident occurring north
of the north river bridge, About
two o'clock Mr,.and Mrs. Kilzmiller
left the city for a drive in the
country, taking with them a ham
mcrlcss double-barreled shot gun.
When reaching a point a short
distance north of the bridge, they
saw a bird, and Mrs. Kitzmiller,
who was quite an adept with a
revolver and target rille, expressed
a desire to try her skill with a shot
gun. The request was granted and
getting out of the buggy she fired
one barrel. She then placed the
gun in the buggy with the barrel
resting on the scat, climbed in and
was just ready to sit down when
the horse gave a budden jerk and
the remaining cartridge in the gnu
exploded just how will never be
known. The charge struck Mrs.
Kitzmiller on the right side of the
head jiiBt below the car, carrying
away a part of the skull and making
a gaping wound from which the
brain oozjd forth. Death was
instantaneous. A yountr man bv
the name of Cully who was riding
through the country heard the shot
ana saw the horse running rapidly.
lie sionpeu tne norse aim totinci .Mr,
Kitzmiller almost paralyzed with
agony, supporting his wife on his
arm. Gully led the buggy witn
the o.'cupants to town, when
the husband was taken in charge
by relatives and the body removed
to Warner's' undertaking rooms and
properly cared for.
Later in the afternoon a coroner's
jury was empaneled, the testimony
of Cully taken, and then ad
journed until the following after
noon when a statement was made
by Mr. Kitzmiller. The verdict of
the jury was that death ensued
from the accidental discharge of a
gun.
Mr. and Mrs. Kizmillcr had been
married but a few weeks, their
tnaritial relations had been happy
and blissful, and the sad end of
that relationship is an awful blow
to the young husband. To him and
the relatives of his wife the deepest
sympathy of our people go forth.
The funeral was held from the
Episcopal church yesterday aftct
noon, a large concourse of people
attending.
Gentry's Dog .mil Tony Show.
Prof. Gentry's Dig and Pony
Show which will exhibit in North
Platte Saturday, June 23rd, aftcr
jioon and evening, is perhaps one
of the most wonderful of its kind in
the United States. The intelligence
of these ponies and dogs is truly
wonderful, and it is all done by
kindness. Every animal answers
promptly to his name, and docs
everything he is told to do except
talk. Prof. Gentry has 124 dogs,
57 ponies, 25 monkeys and 2 Binall
performing elephants 42 inches and
45 inches high. The ponies are
all Shetland except "Eureka" and
"Dotty Dimple." which are East
India "horses," the only two of the
kind in the country. The dogs
comprise every species from the
Russian poodle to the Indian cur,
but they arc smart. The backward
somersault, the lame dog, the
clown dogs, the leaping of the
troupe ot grey-hounds, and above
all, the trick of "Omaha" and
"Major" and the remarkable act
ing of "Colonel" arc very fine.
The pony drill is superb, as is all
the mischief making of "The
Tough."
