  <p>Information: The first accident incident to the hunting season to happen in Jackson County, occurred Wednesday when Boyd Brotherton was instantly killed by accidentally discharging a 12 guage shotgun in his own hands.  Brotherton, with a neighbor boy, Boyd Wolf, had been rabbit hunting and were within 300 yards of his home.  He had set his gun against a stump to help his companion get the rabbit out of a hole.  In picking it up, the hammer caught against the stump, the entire load entered the breast, killing him instantly.  He was taken to his home and prepared for burial.  Brotherton was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Brotherton of near Lone Oak.  He was perhaps 24 years of age, and regarded as a man of good habits.  He is survived by his parents and a bride of only a few months.  His death is deeply deplored.  (McIntyre)</p>
