LOUIS KLING SHOT FOR DEER
_____

Engineer of Cross Lake Logging
Company Fatally Wounded
By Wm. Buchette [sic]
_____

WAS GROSS CARELESSNESS
_____

Dr. Camp States That It Was A
Case of Grossest Criminal
Carelessness

      Dr. J. L. Camp, of this city, returned today from Cross Lake where he was called yesterday to attend Louis Kling. Kling, who is an engineer in the employ of the Cross Lake Logging company, was out with a party from the headquarters hunting deer yesterday morning when Kling was shot by Wm. Bruchette [sic]. Bruchette [sic], who is a settler on Daggett Brook, near there, was also out hunting and saw the bushes move and fired into them, hitting Kling in the abdomen. The bladder was cut nearly in two and the intestines were protruding from the wound when Dr. Camp reached him nine hours after the accident. He was still living this morning, but his wounds are necessarily fatal.
      Dr. Camp is very severe in his denunciation of Buchette [sic], who says he had seen a deer near there and when the bushes moved he fired. Kling was dressed entirely in black and there would seem no excuse for the mistake. Dr. Camp reported the matter to County Attorney Polk and recommended that Buchette [sic] be arrested and given the limit of the law.
      Kling is a young man, married but with no children. Buchette [sic] is also a young man. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 15 November 1906, p. 2)

      Wm. Miller, brother-in-law of Mrs. Louis Kling, Russell Miller, his son, and Hans Kling, Mrs. Ellen Miller and Christine Kling, brother and sisters of the late Louis Kling, came up from Mankato yesterday and remained in the city until today. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 17 November 1906, p. 2)

INQUEST HELD HERE TODAY

BUCHIT[sic] IS NOT BLAMED
Verdict of Jury States He Had No
Intention of Killing Any
Human Being

      Coroner T. W. Gibson held an inquest this forenoon over the remains of the late Louis Kling, who was shot for a deer last Wednesday. A jury was empaneled, consisting of John McCarthy, Geo. A. Keene, Richard Parker, Adam Brown, John Cochran and Florian Senti. After taking the testimony of Geo. Wilmot and Dr. J. L. Camp the jury brought in the following verdict:
      That the said Louis Kling came to his death by reason of a gunshot wound inflicted by Wm. Buchit [sic], on November 14, 1906, in Crow Wing County, Minnesota. That said Buchit [sic] shot said deceased supposing that he had shot at a deer and had no intention of shooting the deceased or any other person.
      Immediately following the inquest the remains were taken to the Presbyterian church and after funeral services were laid at rest in Evergreen cemetery. He leaves a wife but no children.
      The sympathy of all from that section is with Mr. Buchit [sic] who is said to be almost crazy over the affair. He went at once to the wounded man's assistance and stayed with him till his death. It is also said that Mr. Kling, before his death, asked his wife not to prosecute Mr. Buchit [sic], the authorities, however, feel that the law must follow its course in the matter and Mr. Buchit [sic] will be arraigned on a charge of manslaughter.
