Elva Hockett
A SAD ACCIDENT.
A sad and what will probably prove fatal accident happened at the home of A.L. Hockett last
Wednesday evening. The facts in the case are substantially as follows: Adrian, the
thirteen-year-old son of Mr. Hockett got a shot gun from the woodshed and while playing with
it in front of the shed he discharged it, the full contents thereof being received by his sister
Elva in the left side. She was playing near the house forty feet distant from her brother. Dr.
Williams, assisted by Dr. Barber, dressed the wound.
LATER. The little girl died about noon yesterday.
