CITY FATHERS MOTHER SHOT DEAD BY 9-YEAR-OLD SON FIGHT'PROPOSED COUNTY OIVISON A HAPPY NEW YEAR. Corvallis, Or., Dec. 28.—Mra. J. G. Morris was accidentally shot and killed at her home one and a half miles north of th|y city Sunday after noon. A charge from a shotgun in the hands of a 9-year-old son, who did not know the gun was loaded, severed the large arterly of the right leg and the woman bled to death Ln a very short time. This fatality la the direct result of the forgetfulness of Mr. Morris, the victim’s husband, who on returning from a hunting trip, laid his loaded gun on the table. The young son. who, It seems, had often been per mitted to clean the firearm, picked it up for tnat purpose. The gun went off and M tb . Morris, who stood by the stove, not ten feet distant, re- celved the full charge. It is said that Mr. Morris Is all but Insane over the tragedy. Mrs Morris was about 48 years of age and the mother of a family, the majority of the children being grown. (Staff Correspondence.) Roseburg, or..
