Covington, Ind., April 16—Charlie Dice, a young farmer living near Veedersburg, fatally shot himself Saturday night. In buckling a revolver around his waist, he got the revolver upside down, causing it to fall to the ground, and it exploded, sending the bullet into his groin.
Yesterday Hon. F. M. Dice received a message from Veedersburg announcing the tragic death of his cousin, Charles Dice, a wealthy young farmer. He had left home taking two revolvers. As he was getting into a buggy one of the revolvers fell to the ground and was discharged, the ball entering the abdomen, lodging in the shoulder and producing almost instant death. - thanks S
