Accidentally Shot to Death.
Last week brief mention was made
that Clayton H. Horner, son of Wilkie
Horner, of Altoona, had been accilental-
ly shot to death, It appears the young
man, nineteen years old, was hunting
with a party in Union county, with
whom was an uncle, | John Buttorf, of
Mifflinburg., The party were taking an
after lanch smoke and were gathered in
an open place to do so, The young man
was standing at a little distance from the
others and attracted no attention until
the report of a gun was heard, when he
was seen to fall. Death followed almost
instantly.
