FOWLER YOUNG WOMAN MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.

Death unexpectedly stepped into the home of David Calloway, of Fowler, late Sunday afternoon, when his'youngest daughter, Mayme, failed to regain consciousness after she had (been shot, supposedly in an accidental manner, by her own .22 calibre rifle. The young woman left her home, -alone, in an automobile about 11 o’clock in the morning with the intention of going hunting. She was. found about 3:30 o’clock in the aftfront of the machine which had been stopped on an infrequently used road near his farm about three miles west of Fowler. She was . unconscious and died less than an hour later in an automobile that was to rush her to a hospital in the hope of saving her life. It ii believed that Miss Calloway had stopped her machine with the intention of beginning her hunt for rabbits and accidentally discharged the rifle in taking it out of the car. In view of the fact that the bullet entered her -heihd just above the right temple arid there was. no powder marks on her face it is thought that she grasped the piece

by the muzzle ahcT was pulling it toward her wben the trigger caught on some object protruding from the automobile and sent the bullet into her brain.
