ALFRED KOLB
ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS SELF
Fifteen Year Old Boy Sends Bullet Into Head Not Knowing Revolver Was Loaded
FOUND WEAPON IN YARD
Was Son of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Kolb, Town Meeme...Ownership Still A Mystery...
Was Nephew of Police Officer Kolb, This City
Albert, the fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kolb, residing in the town of Meeme was accidently shot and killed yesterday afternoon by a revolver which he had picked up in the yard and was examining.
It is a mystery as to how the revolver came to be on the premises as it did not belong to any of the family. It was a thirty-two caliber and only one shell was used. The bullet entered the lad's head and he died almost instantly. The accident happened shortly after three o'clock. It is the belief of his parents that the boy, not knowing that the revolver was loaded, pulled the trigger.
Unfortunately the weapon was pointed his way. The lad was a newphew of Officer Charles Kolb of this city. The parents are nearly heart-broken and have the deepest sympathy of their neighbors and friends. The funeral arrangements have
not been completed.
