Mrs. Will Brock Accidentally Discharges a Rifle, Killing Pat. Reynolds.
Mason City, Iowa. Nov. 25.—Patrick Reynolds was accidentally killed at 6 o’clock this evening by a rifle ball fired from a gun in the hands of Mrs. Will Brock. Reynolds is an old resident, 70 years of age. He lived alone in the rear of the apartments occupied by the Brock family. The men had just returned from a hunt and had laid their guns down. Mrs. Brock took the rifle in her hands and in some manner it was discharged, the ball taking effect in the middle of the forehead of Reynolds, who expired instantly. Mrs. Brock is a young woman who was married only a few weeks ago. She is crazed with grief. No blame is attached to her.
