BOY KILLED WHILE HUNTING

Shot by Brother When He Was Mistaken for Rabbit, South Bend, November 20.—-As a result of wounds received when his brother James, 15 years old, mistook him for a rabbit, Charles M. Furry, 11 years old, of Walkerton died today. Charles left James and went on ahead to scare up rabbits. He disappeared in the weeds and brush and when he reappeared James got an imperfect glimpse of his cap and fired, thinking it was a rabbit. Most of the load of shot entered the boy's face and head. Both eyes were put out by the bullets. He was a son of Charles F. Furry, a farmer.
