HUNTING TRIP ENDS FATALLY

'Buddy' Haynes Killed By Accident Monday Evening
Canadian county's first fatal hunting accident of the season came on Monday evening when Joe Wilford "Buddy" Haynes, 20 year old son of Walter Haynes, was killed on one of the J. C. Petree farms, 10 miles southwest of El Reno, when he accidentally discharged his own gun into his right side.

The deceased has been an employee of the Wilson Packing Co., at Oklahoma City for the past four years. Monday he accompanied his aunt, Mrs. Clarence Shultz, with whom he made his home in Oklahoma City, to the Wiese farm for a visit. During the afternoon Haynes and his uncle, Richard Wiese, went hunting on the Wiese farm. In the evening they started on a jackrabbit hunt by carlight on the Petree farm.

Sometime between 8 and 9 o'clock Haynes crippled a rabbit and carrying his 12-gauge shotgun in one hand, started to run down the animal. Wiese remained in the car with the windows rolled up and the car running. A short time later he saw the crippled rabbit run into the path of the lights and as it was not pursued he investigated and found his nephew in a dying condition by the side of the road. He was dead before he arrived at the El Reno sanitarium

Sheriff Jack Smith was called to the farm to make an investigation and it was his opinion that the youth had either stumbled and discharged the gun into his side, or had attempted to use the gun as a club to kill the rabbit.

Survivors of the youth are his father of El Reno, his mother, Mrs. Arnold Sander of Natoma, Kans., his grandmother, Mrs. Otillie Wiese of El Reno, and a brother, Leonard Haynes, of Russell, Texas.

Funeral services were to be conducted this afternoon from the Trinity English Lutheran church by Rev. A. C. Dubberstein and interment is to be made in the El Reno cemetery.
