GUN WOUND PROVES FATAL

Harold Knight Died in St. Paul Hospital from Accidental Gun Shot Wound.

Harold Knight died in a hospital at St. Paul from the effects of an accidental gunshot wound in his arm. He was attempting to unload the gun. It was an automatic pump gun and in attempting to dislodge a jammed shell, it was discharged and the load entered his arm. He was taken to Webster, Wis., where a doctor bound up the wound as best he could and then immediately left with him in his car for St. Paul, 75 miles away. He took his patient to the Bethesda hospital where he died the same evening.
