Terrlbir Accident.
On last Saturday, at about 2 o'clock
. in., the citizens of Mexieo were
chocked by the report of an accident
which had resulted in the death of!
Charles Morris MeKee, son of James
McKec, well known to the citizens oi'
Mexico.
It appeais that Mr. McKee, on re- j
turning from his last hunt, had laid!
us gun under the bed empty, tak
ing the "shells" out a,Witlns cus
tom. Now. the -hild beiniAonh si
ittle over two years old, of Aourse
could not lift the gun, muchness load
it; and yet a shell Hvas placed in the
gun and evidently tTEe stock must
have been raised by some one, for
the contents, besides mortally wound
ing the child in the side, went down
through the floor. The only person
uear was a coloreu bov nine or ten
years old, who, it is thought, plaeed
a shell in the gun, thinking it was
capped but not tilled, and merely
shot the gun oil' to frighten or amuse
the child, and the result was the
death of the little one.
When Willie Morris brought the
sad news to Mr. McKee, he thought
Willie was joking, but was com
pelled to admit the truth when he
saw the bloody corpse of his already
dead child the pride of his fathers
and ov of his mother's heart.
It is truly slid and heartrending to
have one's darling idol taken
from them thus. They have the
deepest sympathy of all their friends
in this their hour of bereavement.
The funeral services were conducted
by Dr. Lacy at the house on last Sun
day at 2 o'clock p. m. The remains
were laid in the new cemetery.
