The salute fired in honor of Bishop Scannell of Omaha at Posen church in Howard County on Wednesday, resulted in the death of John Cinoway. Young Cinoway was helping to load a small cannon which was discharged permaturely, tearing both hands off and badly mashing his head and body, one rib being torn from the socket. Life lasted only fifteen minutes. What was intended as a happy church affair was suddenly turned into a funeral and has cast a gloom over the entire community.
