LAFAYETTE-- HERMAN M. BEUTLER, aged twenty-seven, was killed at the home of his father,
HERMAN F. BEUTLER, near Montmorenci. The family was sitting at the supper table and the
son chided the father about drinking too much cider during the day. The father started
for the pantry where the shotgun was, according to story told by the mother, but the son
reached the pantry first and was taking the shells out of the gun when one barrel went
off, the entire charge entering the son's stomach. There are many who do not believe
the story told by the family, and the coroner and prosecutor are investigating. The
father is one of the richest farmers in Tippecanoe County.
