Chester Montanye |
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT-- A son of Mr. B. D. Montanye of this town [Oswego], aged 13 years, was accidentally shot yesterday by another boy while out hunting. In creeping through a fence, the gun got tangled in the brush, and in trying to extricate it, it was discharged, and the contents passed through the body of the lad Montanye, and killed him instantly. He was an interesting boy, and is a victim to the dangerous practice of allowing children to use fire-arms.
