Accidentally Shoots Chum.
Winona, Nov. 26.—Albert Daum, aged 17, was shot and killed by Alvin Knapp, 18, while the two boys were hunting in the woods just outside of the city limits. Young Knapp had gone into the ravine while his companion remained near the hill crest. When the former sighted a partridge just above him the boy fired his shotgun and Daum, who was in plain sight, sank to the ground. One of the shots had penetrated the chest just above the heart and the wounded lad died in a few moments.
