DEATH STALKS IN PATH OF THIS FAMILY
Frank Littlepage, Fourth Victim of Accidental Discharge of Revolver.
Fatal Accident to Young Ballena Rancher is Pathetic Circumstance.
With the death of Frank Littlepage, nearly 20 years of age as the result of the accidental discharge of a revolver at Ballena, Monday night, another chapter is added to a list of tragedies of a similar nature that has occurred in the family of John Littlepage, a Ballena rancher, three others of the same family having preceded him.
Dr. J. P. Lewis and Dr. R. L. Doig, San Diego physicians, raced with time behind a pair of fleet horses, in order to reach the scene of the accident in which Frank Littlepage was shot, but they lost out in the race, as paralysis of the spinal cord was rapid and sure death.
Littlepage went to the pasture on his father's ranch to shoot a diseased steer. Before leaving the house, he put on a belt and scabbard holding a 45 caliber Colts revolver. After he had dispatched the steer, he replaced the gun in the scabbard.
While in the act of stooping to begin operations of skinning the hide from the animal, the revolver fell from the holster and was discharged, the bullet entering the right side of its victim, passing through the liver and lodging in the spinal cord. This action caused hemorrhage of the liver and paralysis of the spine.
As soon as the young man's condition was learned by members of his family he was removed to the house and a telephone message was sent to San Diego for physicians. Dr. J. P. Lewis received the message about 6 o'clock. Prevailing upon Dr. R. L. Doig to accompany him the two physicians set out in a rig on the long drive of thirty-five miles. They arrived at the Littlepage home before the young man expired. He was then delirious. After a hasty diagnosis of the case upon arrival they learned that they could do nothing to alleviate the sufferings of the injured man. He died five hours after the bullet entered his side.
Deceased was a son of John Littlepage. one of the best-known ranchers of the Ballena neighborhood. The young man's mother is in the throes of hysterics because of the accident. Four months ago, a younger son was shot and killed in the same manner. Four years ago, a brother of the father was killed by an accidental discharge of a gun and the father of Mrs. Littlepage's mother met death in a like manner.
