Milton Feltman Accidentally Killed
This community was greatly shocked and grieved on last Wednesday to learn of the accidental death of Milton Feltman, 20-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Feltman, who live on the Teton Ranch company ranch near the city.
Milton, in company with Orville and Dot Stellman were out hunting coyotes with their guns in the Feltman car and were chasing a coyote in the Pleasant Valley section when they came to a fence. The two Stellman boys, it seems, got out of the car and lowered the fence so the car could pass over, Feltman driving the car. After the car crossed the fence the Stellman boys began firing at the coyote and when they had finished found that Feltman had been shot. Neither of the young men knew just how the accident had happened. The shot that killed Milton was fired from a high-powered rifle and tore a great hole through the head. The boys picked up the unconscious youth, who had fallen out of the car, and tied up the wound the best they could and started back to Fort Benton. When they had traveled a couple miles they noticed a car coming and waved to it. Ed Feltman, father of the boy, was the driver of the car and they hastened to the Feltman home and summoned medical aid which proved of no use as death resulted about thirty minutes after arriving home. The body was taken to the Louther undertaking parlors.
Milton Feltman was born at Etna, Missouri, March 15, 1905, and came to Montana with his parents about 15 years ago and resided on the John Muir ranch for some years, but for the past five years resided on their present ranch. He was a student in both grade and high school of this city and was well known and liked by all his acquaintances. He leaves to mourn his untimely death the father, mother, two brothers and two sisters, and a large circle of friends.
Funeral services were held on Friday morning at the Louther chapel, being conducted by Rev. Zimmerman, who is holding meetings at the Christian church. The body was laid to rest in the Riverside cemetery.
The bereaved family have the sympathy of all in this their hour of sorrow.
