from a telephone, where she bled to death. Mrs Palmer was returning from Fellows
with her 12-year old son, John, and Erastus Smith, 14, a nephew, all three on
horseback, when two miles from the Palmer homestead the Smith boy dismounted and
in doing so a shot-gun which he
carried was discharged. The charge entered the femoral artery in the woman’s
right leg and tore a gash eight inches wide, one shot passing through the limb.
The horses on which the trio were riding became frightened with the discharge of
the gun and Mrs Palmer’s horse jumped from under her, and together with the
other two she was holding, ran back to the homestead. The boys rushed to the
Palmer home to secure a buggy and because of being unable to find part of the
harness are said to have frantically tied grain bags together to make the tugs
with which they rushed the buggy to the scene of the accident and loaded the
dying woman in and started to Fellows. The woman died in her son’s arms just
as the trio arrived at the station, where they took her to the home of her twin
sister, Mrs A Y Smith, mother of the boy with the gun. The injured
woman’s husband was in this city and Mr Smith was also away from home and J B Pershall
was sent for and hurried six miles to Rocklyn to telephone here. The funeral was
