BARNARDO BOY DEAD

Harry Salcombe Accidently Shot while Handling Gun

(Free Press Special)

Oakburn, Man. Dec. 2.--A shooting accident occurred on the farm of Mrs. Hamilton, three miles west of this village, when Harry Salcombe, 17 years of age, a Barnardo boy, lost his life.

The young man left to get a load of straw about 11 o'clock, and when he had not returned at 3 o'clock, Mrs. Adams Halliday sent little Stanley Proutt to ascertain the cause of delay. when Stanley reached the straw stack his found his companion lying dead. The unfortunate youth had taken his gun along, and after putting the load of straw on the sleigh, he was placing his gun, stock foremost into the back of the load, when the gun exploded the charge entering the young man's chest. Death was likely instantaneous.

Salcombe has an aunt living at Como, Quebec, who has been notified of his death. Mr. Struthers, of the Barnardo home Winnipeg has also been notified, and funeral arrangements are waiting their replies. Coroner Brothers of Shoal Lake, was advised and it is not yet known whether an inquest will be held or not.
