Alfred J. James, a farmer living
twelve miles from Augusta, was killed
jestcrday on the Camp Hancock artil
lery range by a shell fired by the 107th
Field Artillery. Tho shell passed en
tirely through his body, making a hole
six Inches In diameter.
This was tho first fatal accident that
has accompanied the practice of any
unit of the Camp Hancock artillery, and
Pcnnsvlvanlatis who compose tho 107th
deeply icgret that they should have been
Instrumental In the death of the farmer.
Just what time tho accident occurred
remains a mystery. Jamea left his resi
dence about 9 o'clock, It Is said, to see
vvhero tho artillery were shooting, after
a guard had warned him and two of
his sons at work in tho fields that the
artillery was shooting and that thero
was danger. At noon he had not re-jhlm
