TRAGEDY AT LENOIR.
Albert Hoffman Accidently
Killed by 22 Calibre Rifle.
A horrid accident occurred at
Leno.r Saturday which resulted
in the death of Albert Hoffman
the 14 year old son of Mr. ' Lu
ther Hoffman.
The young fellow was playing
in the woodshed with his play
mates and whiie they were toss
ing and jumping on the floor a
22 calibre rifle which they had
had was standing in the corner.
The jar caused the gun to fall to
the floor and explode the car
tridge, the ball entering the neck
of young Hoffman.
The alarm was quickly given
and every possibie effort was put
forth to relieve him. The bullet
had penetrated his spinal column
and paralized his entire bodv
from his neck down.
He lived in agony several
hours, dying later. He was well
known ail over town and was
liked by all wno knew him. He
was delivery boy for his father's 1
market and hence the people
him and found him to be
a fine fellow. His tragic de th
cast a gloom over the town.
