A SAD TRAGEDY
One day last week a sad tragedy occurred south of Eagleville on Bears Grade,
resulting I the death of James David, an Indian boy. It seems that Jerry
Dave and his cousin, Dai Phoenix were out hunting ground hogs and young
Phoenix had one corralled in the rocks and was trying to get it out. When
Davis became excited and stuck his head, in the line of fire and was shot in
the back of the head, killing him instantly. It seems to have been an
accident pure and simple and is a warning to all to be careful with firearms
while hunting. (1:3)

typified the highest conception of the pioneer of the West. He was a hard
