Alexander McClish
On Saturday afternoon last. Alexander McClish, of Fairfield township, accidentally shot and killed his self. The particulars as near as we could get them were as follows: He was passing through the fields on the farm of Mr. Harms, and in crossing a fence in some manner the rifle which he carried was discharged, the ball lodging in his brain. At the moment the accident happened, he was seen by a little girl, who gave the alarm. He was taken to the house, and medical aid was summoned, but before the Doctor reached him, he died. Mr. McClish had lived in the county for many years, and was widely known and respected. He leaves a wife and two children.
