A very sad accident, which resulted in the death of Mrs. Matthew Fooks, occurred last Sunday five miles northwest of town. Mr. Fooks was cleaning his gun when in some manner it was discharged, the ball passing through his wife's right shoulder. The accident happened at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and she died at 2 the next morning. She said to the neighbors who came in while she was still conscious: "Do not blame my husband; it was an accident." Because of this statement, no coroner's inquest was held.
