From the Belvidere Apollo, Belvidere, New Jersey dated November 10, 1893:

BEGIN

  A sad accident occurred here last Monday evening.  A son of Mr. Larna,
the Principal of the school at Petersburg, was out gunning with his cousin,
George W. Kishpaugh, of Stillwater.  Towards evening Geo. was leaning on
his loaded gun, when it suddenly went off, mortally wounding him.  He ran
some twenty paces and then dropped down to die, which he did fifteen minutes
after being accidently shot by himself.  His cousin was standing two feet
from him when it occurred.  It is supposed George touched the trigger with
his foot or some way and the gun went off.  His family have our sincere
sympathy.  He was a good and promiising young man, only 16 years of age.
The interment will be held at Stillwater.

END
