The body of Gordon French, 15-year old lad who was accidentally killed by being shot to death on a farm near Beloit, Wisconsin, early in the week arrived in Nevada today and will be interred in the Nevada cemetery by the side of his grandmother who was buried here a few years ago
The lad, a son of Elder and Mrs. Arthur French, was working in a hay field and carrying a gun with him. The gun accidentally dropped and exploded, the shot killing him instantly. The team, hitched to a hayrack, ranaway.
