INSTANTLY KILLED
Don Carlton Accidentally Shot by a Gun

IN HIS BROTHER’S HANDS

Boys Lived Near Chilocco and Were Out Hunting

Word reached this city Tuesday night of the accidental killing of Don Carlton, by a gun in the hands of his brother, Fred, near Chilocco, that morning. The young men lived near the reservation, close to the state line, and were out hunting. The gun, in some way, accidentally discharged in the hands of Fred Carlton, penetrating his brother’s stomach and killing him instantly.
Fred was almost prostrated with grief, but succeeded in arousing help to convey his brother’s dead form home. The deceased was 19, and the brother 21 years of age. Full detail of the accidental killing have proven unobtainable, but it is learned that both boys were well thought of in the community in which they lived and the sudden death of Don will cause general sorrow.
