Monday, 1 June 1903

         Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., June 1 -
         The report that a lad at Bay Mills, twelve
       miles from this city, on the D., S. & L. rail-
       way, had been murdered by an Indian proved
       erroneous. With two companions, GEORGE WASCOMB,
       aged 12, had been firing with a rifle at a
       target, and were lying on the ground when one
       of them took hold of the gun by the barrel. 
       The hammer caught and the gun was discharged.
       Young WASCOMB received the bullet in the jugu-
       lar vein and death resulted.
