Mistaken for a deer two months ago, Angus Chisholm, who received the charges from seven shotguns and strangely lived until this morning at 10 o'clock. He died at St. Anthony's hospital after a brave struggle. At the time he was shot, Mr. Chisholm was carrying the carcass of a deer swung across his shoulder in the woods near Blackduck.

A wife survives. Mrs. Fred Brinkman and Mrs. P. J. Russell are sisters. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning, at 9 o'clock, services at the Catholic church, interment in Holy Cross cemetery. (Bemidji Pioneer, Jan 17, 1917)
