Accidental pistol death shocks Hagaman family
A 16 year old, Tom Hagaman, son of T H Hagaman, died after a pistol misloaded with a live shell discharged at a Willada area ranch south of St John. He had been handling cartridges to scare a girl cook and, to prove safety, fired at his head. Dr McEntyre pronounced him dead after the noon incident. Several other items note a circus elephant rampage, forest fires, and church admonitions.
