Postville Review, Sat., 3 March 1894.

Ralph Clark, the 14 year old son of G. M. Clark, proprietor of the St. Cloud Hotel, at Decorah, was out hunting with a shot gun last Saturday, and while attempting to pass through a wire fence the hammer of the gun caught in such a manner as to discharge the contents of one of the barrels into his abdomen, causing death within a half hour.
