DIES OF BULLET WOUND
ON RETURN
FROM HUNTING TRIP
(By Associated Press.)
Marshfield, Wis. — Saying "Hello
Ma" as he entered his home, last
night, on the return from a wolf hunt,
John Becker, 19, fell dead from a bul-
let wound in his head.
The youth was hunting with a
neighbor. On their return home, he
took the gun from the sleigh, when it
apparently became caught in the
blankets and was discharged. He is
survived by his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Becker, two sisters and
three brothers.
