A sad accident happened out on the line of the Kansas City and Olathe railroad, last Saturday afternoon. A man named Rhodes, employed on the grade while hanadling a pistol, in probably a careless manner, let it fall by which it was discharged, the ball striking his infant grand child passing entirely through its little body and into his own. The child died on Sunday morning, while the man at last accounts was improving, with fair propects of recovery. When will people learn to be more careful with fire arms?
