J
A Shocking Accident.
Jcttlc Thompson, aged nineteen,
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Thompson, was instantly
killed Wednesday afternoon by the
accidental discharge of a shot gun
in the hands ot her father, The
particulars ot the shocking accident
as near as can be ascertained arc
as follows:
Alter dinner Mr, Thompson, ac
companied by Jettie and the baby,
drove over south of the river, taking
wih him his gun with the expecta
tion of getting a shot at prairie
chickens. Wticn bcveral miles
southwest of town the dog raised a
covey of birdB and Mr. Thompson
jumped out of the buggy, but by
the time he got a shell in the gun
the birds were out of shooting
distance. Mr. Thompson was
standing close in the rear ot the
buggy and Jettie was leaning her
head oyer the side talking to him.
In the attempt to "break" the gun
to remove the shell preparatory to
getting back in the buggy, the
shell exploded and the charge
struck Jettie in the neck below the
car, tearing a hole nearly two
inches in diameter clear through
her neck.
As the shell exploded, the horse
started to run with Mr. Thompson
followimr as rapidlv as possible.
After runninir a mile a jolt of the
buggy threw out the baby, Pick
ing up the child Mr, Thompson
continued hi chase after the horse,
which was later stopped by Mr.
Wvman. Upon arriving at the
buggy Mr. Thompson found Jettie
dead, death being instant with the
entrance ot tlie charge. 'X'ne ooay
was at once brought to town.
Mrs. Thompson who had been
visitinir in Omaha and arrived
home on the evening train had
been in the house but a few minutes
when the body of her daughter was
brought ie. The mother and
father arc almost crazed wit grief,
but their sad afihction ib being re
lieved as far as possible by the
sympathy aud assistance of triends
Jettie Thompson was a very
sweet and lovable trtrl. and one in
whom the parents took just pride
She had lived in the city all her
life, was known by nearly every
one. and held In very hich esteem
by reason of her kindly disposition
and friendly acts. That her end
should come in such a shocking
manner is an awful blow, not only
to the family but to all friends and
acquaintances. To the sorrow
stricken family the deepest and
most heartfelt sympathy of the
entire populace goes forth.
