Samuel Wilkinson , a prominent farmer and alliance man of this vicinity , was out in the woods with his son , 14 years old. Each had a shotgun. Their failure to return Wednesday night caused fifty men and boys to o.xploro every inch of the forest. They were horrified on finding the body of the boy stretched across a log , his gun Dy his sida nnd the fun of thu hither a few foot uwuy. The buys brains were rid dled with shot in n most fdghttut manner nnd death must havn boon instantaneous. The father , however , rould not bo found and search was continued till noon , when word was received that Mr. Wilkinson was at homo. Ho was found twenty miles from homo bv some acquaintances who brought him to his Iricnds. Ho was in a crazed con dition and conln not make himself in telligible. Ho loved his only son intensely , and the theory is thnt the kitlincr was an acci dent and that the sudden slioek was more than the father's mind could boar. CO3131UT.ilfuX UKOO3l3lSXIni > .
