• Notes

  (Medical): sad and fatal accident occurred in this vicinity last Friday afternoon,resulting in the death of John A Wyman. He with his two companions - Frank Cox and ___ Chinnock, were hunting on the bluffs on the west side of the Kinnickinnic a couple of miles below the city. Wyman and Chinnock were on the brow of a bluff some thirty rods apart and Mr.Cox was about twelve rods down the steep bank from Mr. Wyman. The thicket is so dense in that locality that they could not see each other. Mr. Cox fired his Winchester rifle up the hill at a rabbit and it is supposed that the ball, glancing on the frozen ground, took an upward turn, wounding the unfortunate man, who happened to be in range of the ____ missile, in his hand and abdomen. Mr. Cox hastened to the city, procured a team and medical assistance and brought the wounded man to his home, where he died a few hours afterward. The deceased was about 30 years of age and had resided in this city during the past seven years , the last of which he an been in the employ of F. J. Burhyte as a teamster. He was a respectable and industrious citizen, as his neat and pleasant home in the northern part of the city testifies. He leaves a wife and one child.
