II he above is an exact picture of our celebrated Majestic
Range. This is not a “steel range,” but a mailable and steel
combination range; body of charcoal iron, rust-resisting, and
[therefore 300 per cent better than any other on the market.
Mailable iron is absolutely necessary for making air tight joints.
That’s what is used in this stove. Come in and see with your

ACCIDENT PROVES FATAL
Joe O’Donnell Sliot by Companion
While Hunting.
BOY DIES A FEW HOURS LATER
Tragic Ending of Afternoon’s Sport on
Dry Creek.—George Harrington
Acidentally Discharges Gun.
A fatal accident occurred last Sun
day afternoon that has brought sor
row to many hearts and a shock to
the entire community. Joe O’Don
nell, a 15 year-old boy, was fatally
wounded by a charge from a shot gun
while out hunting on Dry Creek a
bout four miles southeast of town. In
company with his little brother Frank
and George Harrington, son of M. F.
Harrington, he had gone hunting
that afternoon, they using the Har
rington horse and buggy.
Joe and George, about the same age,
were hunting while the other boy
held the horse. It seems that they
were crawling through the grass, the
O’Donnell boy being a little in ad
vance and to the right of the Harring
ton boy. While crawling along this
way the Harrington boy’s gun was
acidentally discharged and his un
fortunate companion received the full
load, shot powder and wadding, in the
side just above the hip. The boy was
heavily clothed, otherwise it must
nave wra nun 10 pieces insianuy.
As it was a deep hole was torn to the
vitals Horror strickn at what he
had acidentally done but cool enough
to see the need of immediate action,
George proceeded to get his wounded
companion into the buggy to bring
him home, but in the excitement the
horse run away and Joe lay for some 1
minutes on the wet and snowy ground
while the other boys caugbt the horse. '
They drove into town about live I
o’clock, the wounded boy being sup
ported in the buggy. They first in- '
quired for James O’Donnell, a brother (
of Joe. Dr. Berry opened his office 1
and the injured lad taken there and 1
physicians called. Examinations by <
the doctors disclosed the seriousness
of the injury, but it was thought he
might recover. After the wound had
been dressed the boy rested easy, but 1
began to sink as the night advanced ‘
and about midnight died. (
It came as a severe blow to his
mother and other relatives. Some
two years ago the boy’s father was
brought home dead, having been i
killed while stacking hay. j,
The family were among the early
settlers here and are well known
throughout the community. Joe was (
born in O’Neill and his untimely tak- ]
ing off in so tragic a manner is deeply i
mourned. The Harrington boy is
greatly affected over the affair, but 1
nob at all condemned as it was purel
accidental. It emphasises the fac
that boys of that age should not b
out alone with shotguns.
The funeral was held this mornini
at 10:30 at the Catholic church, am
was largely attended. The publii
schools closed in respect to Joe’
memory. Relatives and friends cami
from a distance to attend the funera
and comfort the bereaved mother
brothers and sisters.
