A most distressing accident occur- red near Munson's camp, east of Bad frock canyon on Sunday last, by which Surveyor Meredith lost his life. C. J. Wagenberth, a butcher in the employ of Ramsdell Brothers, was killing cattle in an open place near Munson's camp. He was shoot- ing cattle with a rifle, and selected his animal front the edge of the band. He shot but missed, and the bullet passed on and passing through a strip of timber, struck a civil engineer named Meridith, who was working with a party. A few minutes after the shot one of the surveyors ran up to Wagenberth and told him he had shot a man. Wagenberth was sur- prised and shocked, as no person was in sight when he shot at the steer, and the position of the survey corps was such that the butcher could not see them. He hastened to where Meri- deth was lying, about threo hundred yards away. A aamund in his wrist was bleeding, and for some time it was thought to be the extent of his injury and that he had fainted. He did not revive, and died in a few min- utes. An investigation disclosed the fact that the bullet had passed thro' his wrist, entered the abdomen, and struck the spinal column. Wagenberth mounted his horse and rode to Egan as fast as possible where ee notified the proper officials, and gave himself into the custody of Deputy Mumbrue. An investigation followed, and the evidence showed the facts as related. Wagenberth was completely brok- en down over the affair, and showed the greatest sorrow over the accident. He was not held after the investiga- tion, and although the affair seems the result of carelessness, not many berth. during his present tour. Ben Butler will take a journey through the south in May.
