Medaryrille Liveryman Killed In Hunting Accident Sunday.

Medaryville Advertiser. While conveying a party of hunters about the country last Friday, Charles Garling, the liveryman, was accidently shot in the leg by one of his companions and so badly wounded that he died Sunday morning at about 8 o’clock. a Four young men came here from Michigan City Thursday morning prepared to have a season of hunting. They engaged the services of Mr. Garling to haul them about the country. When near a stretch of timber at the southwest end of the Joseph Hardesty farm they tied their team and began to wander around. It was thus that the party became, separated and only Chgrley and one of the young men, Herbert Hershman by name, kept together. Hearing a noise, Hershma i, who had nis shotgun in his hand ready for immediate action, whirled suddenly arounti and in doing so his g in was accidentally discharged, the load striking Charley in the fleshy upper part of his left leg, producing two ugly wounds. The young man, after some delay, was brought to town, and by the time he reached Dr. H. Q, Jones’ office he was extremely weak from loss of blood. After staunching this flow the unfortunate man was taken to his home just north of the Christian church, wffiere he lingered until Sunday morning, when he died. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from the St. John’s Evangelical church in Cass township, where Rev. E. Brenion preached an excellent sermon to an exceptionally large concourse of mourning friends. Interment followed in the? cemetery near the church. Charles Garling was about twentyfour years old and leaves a young wife and two babies (twins). He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Garling, who with four other children, three sons and one daughter, also survive him. The family have our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement.
