Danevikke, Monday. A shocking accident occurred here yesterday. A man named Smith, a bush contractor, was out shooting with his two sons, and they were coming home to dinner, when the father said he must gee another bird. The youngest boy, Frederick Charles Russell, said, "I see a pigeon," when immediately the gun went oft, the charge entering the head of the boy, who was eleven years old, behind the ear, killing him instantly. The lad was only a few feet distant at the time.
