"INSTANTLY KILLED. Frank Livingstone Accidentally Shot at Farragut on the Fourth".-- During the celebration at Farragut the Fourth, on account of some trouble which arose at a shooting gallery which was being operated upon the grounds, the marshall thought it necesssary to take the guns away from the parties who were running the gallery. The guns were magazine loaders and the marshal did not understand their operation and asked that the loads be removed. It appears that some one standing by volunteered to take the loads out and while he was engaged in doing so the gun was discharged and struck Frank Livingston who was standing near by. He was killed almost instantly. The young man who was killed is a son of H. R. Livingstone, one of the well known men of Locust Grove township. He was married two years ago last March to Grace Poulson and was about twenty five years of age. The man in whose hands the gun was when it was discharged was arrested and given a preliminary trial and was dismissed as it was purely accidental.
