WILLIAMS, W.W. - Bentonville, Ark., March 2,- W.W. Williams, retired capitalist, accidentally shot and killed himself while hunting yesterday. He left his home on Bentonville Heights shortly after noon to kill a rabbit for a sick neighbor. His failure to return alarmed his family and a searching party was organized. The body, partially suspended by a wire fence, was found about midnight on the Davis farm, near town. It is supposed that his gun was discharged as he was climbing the fence. The wound, which was near the heart, apparently caused instant death. Mr. Williams came here some years ago from Texas and purchased fruit lands. He was about 55 years old and is survived by his widow and four children.
