S. W. Jones

We are pained to learn that a young man by the name of S. W. Jones, aged about 21 years, the Methodist Circuit Rider on this circuit, accidently shot himself on yesterday near the residence of Thos. N. Stayton, four miles west of Helena. We understand that he never spoke after the gun fired but died almost immediately.
