A SAD ACCIDENT. On Saturday night last about eleven o'clock, Daniel Swith, aged about 21 years, who resided in this place, was accidentally shot and killed by another young man by the name of Costate Walker, engaged as bar-tender in Chas. Bremer's saloon on Olive street, where the unfortunate affair took place. It seems that Smith, I. C.

Preston, and Walker were alone in the saloon nt the time, and Walker was showing the other two a pistol which had been left there the same day by somebody as a pawn, and while Walker was handling with the muzzle pointing toward Smith, it went off, the ball hitting him, taking effect in the pit of the stomach and ranging upward, from which he died in about twenty minutes. The funeral services were held in the Congregational Church Tuesday at three o'clock P. where the Rev. Mr. Armstrong delivered an appropriate discourse in the presence of the deccased's relatives and a number of friends who felt deep sympathy for those whose hearts had been torn by grief on account of this sudden and unexpected infliction.
