Oilton Boy Kills Brother With Gun He Thought Empty

OILTON, June 28.-(Special)—An "empty gun" was responsible for the death of Fred McCord, 11 year old, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. T. McCord of this city, at a hospital at Yale this morning.

The boy and his brother Delbert had been playing with an old revolver for several days, repeatedly snapping it at each other, as it was supposed the gun was  not loaded. Sunday evening, as Delbert snapped the gun at his brother a shell exploded sending the bullet, through the boy's intestines. He was rushed to Yale, but physicians could do nothing.

Burial was made here this afternoon.
