From Nevada Reprsentative June 12, 1889

Last Saturday morning Augustus Browhard, son of Mr. Browhard of Collins, a young man about 17 years of age was fatally shot by the unexpected discharge of a revolver that he and another man were examining. We do not understand that blame is attributed to any one, the shooting being purely accidental. The young man died Monday morning. He was at work for Harrison Ozmun and had secured the revolver without the latter's knowledge. It is a sad accident and sharp warning against the careless handling of fire arms, even when thought to be unloaded.
