A Sad Accident

A most distressing accident occurred in this county near New Market (Marion County, Kentucky), early Monday morning, May 2, 1904, which resulted in the death of James Ben Thompson, 21 years of age, a son of Mr. John Thompson, a well known farmer of that vicinity.

Young Thompson had suspicions that a thief was making raids on his father's corn crib and by means of a string and shot gun laid a trap to shoot the supposed burglar. On several previous occasions he had gone to the crib but took the precaution to unloosen the string before opening the door, but on Monday morning he was in haste and forgot about the trap. He gave the door a quick jerk, instantly there was the report of the gun and the contents of the weapon ploughed its way through his right breast and on into his heart. He fell and died almost instantly. The accident and unfortunate circumstance surrounding cast a shadow of gloom not alone over the family of the dead boy, but the neighborhood as well, and the affair is regretted by all.

At the inquest held Wednesday the Coroner's verdict was that the deceased came to his death by accident.

The funeral services were held at Calvary Wednesday morning, with Requiem, Mass, after which the remains were interred in the congregational cemetery. ---Lebanon, Ky., Enterpise.

Mr. Thompson was a brother of Mrs. H. R. Shively and George Thompson of Prairie View, and was known to many of our readers as he visited in Missouri about two years ago and his sad and untimely death was a shock to his relatives and friends here.
