Elkader Register, Fri. morning, 29 Oct. 1897. Local Scrap Bag columns. From the Guttenberg Press, undated.

On Wednesday evening of last week Jacob Lavatch, who lived at Giard station, while under the influence of liquor went to his home and threatened to shoot his wife and daughter. He then went to the kitchen and pulled off his right shoe and getting a shot gun placed it against the pit of his stomach and then pulled the trigger with his big toe. On account of the gun being held so close to his person it exploded. His wife and daughter hearing an awful racket in the direction of the kitchen, and thinking that he was breaking up the dishes and furniture, went to see and found him lying on the floor lifeless with the broken gun beside him. Coroner Scholz was notified and went up Thursday morning and held an inquest over the remains and the coroner's jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. - Guttenberg Press.
