The News in Iowa
At Paralta [Linn co.] Thursday afternoon the 7 year-old son of
Arthur Wilson shot and instantly killed his little 5-year-old
sister. The father had been cleaning up his rifle preparatory to
going hunting, going out to the well for a bucket of water he
left the children together. The little girl wanted to know how it
worked. The boy placed a bullet in the rifle and pinting it at
her, fired. The bullet penetrated her brain and caused instant
death.
Seated at the dinner table a few days ago beside his wife,
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his wedded life, Robert
Fellows, of Ottumwa, was stricken with apoplexy and instant
death. This unusual and strange demise occurred at the home of
his nephew, George Hall, where the anniversary celebration was
being held, and around the table sat a number of relatives and
friends who witnessed his death just at the conclusion of the
feast. Mr. Fellows was in his eighty-first year and was a pioneer
in that section, coming to Iowa in 1867. He was born in Penfield,
N.Y., October 7, 1818, and his father, General Henry Fellows, was
on the military staff of General Washington during the
revolutionary war. Mr. Fellows was a well-to-do citizen and was a
leading spirit in the business enterprise of Ottumwa years ago.
For a number of years past he has lived in retirement. At the
Wapello club on the night of this death he was to have been
presented with a loving cup by his fellow club members.

rested upon them, but the coroner's jury returned a verdict that
Beck came to his death by falling into the Missouri river.
