An accidentally self-inflicted wound caused the death of Simeon Toney who lived near Eaton, O., at 12:30 o'clock yesterday. He died at Reid Memorial hospital. He was operated upon Wednesday and rallied after a time, but he was not strong enough to recover from the shock.

Toney described the accident to Dr. Conway of Eaton, O., who first attended him, stating that he had gone to bed and was examining a revolver which he kept handy for emergencies. He had attempted to place it under the bed and in so doing he struck the hammer on the side of the bed causing the discharge of the cartridge. Toney was brought to Richmond on an Interurban car in anticipation of an operation and his probable recovery at the hospital.
