An accident occurred at North Lake, Lot 47, P.E.I. on Friday which resulted in the death of John ROSE, age 15, s/o Peter ROSE, miller. On the day of the accident, at dinner hour, young rose went down to the side of the lake to have a shot at some birds. Between him and the game there was a fence, through which, before climbing, he attempted to pass his gun, but end foremost, holding the muzzle towards him. While in this position the gun went off, driving the charge into his left breast in the vicinity of the heart. - Charlottetown 'Patriot'.
