CHARTS WATER COLOR WORK CXXSSS3IKXXXXXI Killing At Denison One of the most tragic and terrible accidents that has happened in Denison for some time occured Tuesday afternoon at about three o'clock, when Kenneth Wentz was accldently shot by his friend, Lloyd Knisel.

Kenneth and Lloyd, with the form- er's younger brother, Arthur, were hunting in the woods directly south of Denison. across from the railroad track, when the gun, held by Knisel, accldently went off, Wentz receiving the whole discharge in his thigh. Knisel, who by nature, is very excitable, was nearly crazed at the deed, and was only kept from killing himself by Arthur, the brother of the dead boy. By the time help arrived, Wentz was chilled and weak from loss of blood, and was taken at once to Dr. Darlington's office, where he, together with Dr.

Steward did all they could to save the boy. He died about two hours after he was wounded. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Wentz, who live three miles west of Denison.

He was twenty-one years of Knisel Is about nineteen years old, the two boys being especially good friends. The body was taken to the home of Wesley Wentz, east of town, and funeral was held this morning at ten o'clock, and the body interred in the R. P. cemetery.
