HILL, baby - {from The Siloam Springs Republican} A sad accident happened at the home of William Hill, about two miles north of Cincinnati, on last Wednesday a week ago, which resulted in the death of the year and a half old son of Mr. Hill, by his three-year-old brother. It seems that some one had come into the room where the children were playing, laying a double-barreled shot gun down across the bed with the muzzle to the wall. It is supposed the little fellow pulled the gun to him and turned it around so that the muzzle pointed to the foot of the bed where the younger child was standing and in playing with the hammer of the gun accidentally discharged it, the full charge entering the body of the child on the left side just below the heart, making a terrible wound through which that organ could be seen. There was no one else in the room at the time and by the time the family reached the room life was extinct. The father had been showing the boy how to pull the trigger of the gun and snap caps and it is supposed the child was trying the experiment by himself. The shot set fire to the bedding but was put out before any damage was done. It is a very sad case and should teach everyone to put such things out of reach of the children as accidents will happen if it is neglected.
