Since that Hay many Americans have written

pressed itself as well in the field of fiction,

America is developing an architecture as dis-

his art on the parched plains of Utah. One of

Deplorable Tragedy k
Enacted At Lone Oak
Deport Times
A deplorable tragedy occurr-
at the home of Jesse Harnett
ir. Lone Oak community, south
jf Dtport, Wednesday evening
a; 9 o,clock, when Miss Op«.l
Hubbard wus shot with a revol
ver and died an hour later.
A crowd of young people had
gathered at the Barnett home
to rehearse for a home talent
play thai was to have been pulj
on soon. This had been done and i
ihe crowd had been around the
piano singing. Some on suggest'
^d that they g)o home, and as'
they were filing out Claude
Young pulled a pistol from his
pocket and fired wnat he sup-
posed was a blank cartridge to
startle the gills. The bullet
struck Miss Hubbard in the ab-
domen and lodged in her l>ody.
Death resulted from internal
hemorages an hour later.
The revolver was used in the
;>lay the company was rehears-
ng, Mr. Young being required
to fire two shots in taking his
own life in the last act. He re-
placed three shu Is in the cylin-
der after removing the lead
balls, but in some way had over
looked the ball in the third
shell. Two of them were fired
in the rehearsal, and the shot
he fired to start e the crowd
was the last shell in the pistol.
Immediately after the acci-
dent everyone thought the wou-
nded girl was only frightened
but she kept repeating that she
had been shot and still holding
her hands over tlv® wound. She
was pfaced on a bed and a doc-
tor and her mother summoned,
remaining ctonscious \ tl'J
lew minutes before h?r death.
After doing all that he pos-
sibly could do for the girl, Mr.'
Young became hysterical and
attempted to taks his own life
with the same weapon, but was
restrained by his friends. He
was still tnenta ly unbalanced
when tha 'limes went to press
Thursday morning. He is the
son of Mrs. Sallie Young, wo
resides between Milton and In-
dependenca.
Miss Hubbard was the young
est daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Hubbard, who reside on
the Barnett farm at Lone Oak.
She wrtjr'otvly 14 years old, and
a l>eautiful girl with a lovali e
disposition. The entire c >mmuni
ty is prostrate over the deplor-
able tragedy. The funeral was
conduclted Thursday afternoon
and interment made at the Mor
ris Chapel Cemetery.
