Jackson Daily Citizen
Tuesday, 7 October, 1873

         The Ann Arbor Argus of the 3d inst., has this item:
       On the 30th ult., HIRAM B. WARREN, of Salem, aged about
       thirty years, was shot and killed by HENRY WARREN, aged
       18 years. The latter was a son of HIRAM G. WARREN and
       cousin to the former. As we get the report the young
       men with a hired boy were in the cornfield, when HENRY
       came up behind HIRAM within six feet, and, as he alleges,
       when intending to shoot over HIRAM'S head to scare him, 
       the gun, (being loaded only with a large charge of pow-
       der and wad) slipped, the muzzle falling part way down
       and going off, blowed HIRAM'S brains out. This was the
       second attempt of the same kind to "scare" HIRAM that
       he had made the same forenoon. An inquest was held and
       a verdict rendered that the said HIRAM B. WARREN came
       to his death at time and place stated, by the discharge
       of a gun in the hands of HENRY WARREN, without intent
       to kill.
