Funeral for Kaiser Boy to be Held Here
Funeral services for Fred Kaiser, 12-year-old son of Charles Kaiser of Miles City, Mont., will be held at St. Mary's church Thursday morning at 8 o'clock. Rev. Father Hiltner will preside.
Fred was killed Sunday evening when the rifle which his brother, Raymond, age 9 years, handed him after he had dismounted from the horse which the two boys had been riding, accidentally exploded in his face. The bullet entered the boy's face and death resulted instantly.
The two boys had been hunting Sunday and were riding horseback double. The older boy dismounted first and his smaller brother was handing down the rifle when it accidentally went off. Emil and George Kaiser, brothers of the dead boy, left immediately for Montana expected to arrive with the remains on No. 4 this evening.

Many Friends Attend Kaiser Funeral Rites
The body of Fred Kaiser, 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kaiser of Miles City, Mont. Who was accidentally shot a few days ago, was laid to rest in Bismarck today following funeral services at St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral with Father Hiltner officiating. The body came last night on No. 4, accompanied by George and Emil, brothers, who went to Miles City from Bismarck on receipt of word of the accident.
Previous versions of the accident were corrected by them. Fred and his younger brother, Raymond, aged 8, were riding on a horse about a mile from Miles City. They had a gun, intending to shoot rabbits. Fred was holding the gun when it was accidentally discharged, wounding him fatally in the face and head. It had previously been reported the younger brother was holding the gun. Master Raymond endeavored to get help, but could not attract attention immediately. He tried to put his older brother on the horse but failed. When he finally got help Fred had passed away.
Mrs. Kaiser, mother of Fred, was so overcome by the accident that she is seriously ill, and was unable to accompany the body here. Before being brought to Bismarck, a funeral, very largely attended, was held in Miles City. Fred was an excellent rider, and had participated in the Miles City Roundup.
