SHOT HIS COUSIN.

A sad accident occurred near Newkirk last Monday at the home of Mrs. Bagby. Mr. And Mrs. Delbert Turner and their little daughter, aged five years had just arrived last Friday to visit Mrs. Bagby, who is a sister of Mrs. Turner. Howard Bagby aged six years and the little Turner girl were in a bed room playing when the little boy got hold of a loaded revolver that was in the room, which he discharged and shot his cousin, killing her almost instantly. The parents left with the remains for burial at their home in Missouri.
