A Fatal Accident

News was received here Monday of an unfortunate accident a few days ago about three miles northeast of Red Oak. Lewis Milam and Ed Harkey, two young men of that community, were out last Wednesday hunting rabbits. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon a target gun carried by Milam was accidentally discharged, the ball taking effect in young Harkey's back. The wounded man was taken to his home where he died that night about 9 o'clock.
