Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY] experienced a sensational affair last week. William Green, son of L.J. Green, whose father was landlord of the Central Hotel in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] a few years ago was shot and killed while attempting to enter the house of John Wood on Bridge street early last Thursday morning. Petty thefts have been going on in Unadilla for the past several months, but there had been no success in catching the thief; also the people of Unadilla would be disturbed nights by a person sneaking about their houses. William Green is believed to have been demented and being an incessant reader of dime novels, and is said had an affinity for prowling around nights. [Bainbridge Republican, Sept. 23, 1896]

Death By Shooting: We are very much pained to learn that a son of J.S. Ludington, Esq., of Plymouth [Chenango Co., NY], was instantly killed, on Wednesday, by the accidental discharge of a gun. He was out gunning with a companion, and had stopped beside a log, leaning his gun upon or over the log, when by some movement the gun was discharged, the contents passing upward from the neck through his head, killing him instantly. The lad was about fifteen years of age.,--Chronicle [Chenango Union, Nov. 1, 1865]
Death of Frank S. Ludington--We learn that our account of the accident to Frank S. son of James S. Ludington, Esq., was not correct in every particular, and we accordingly, by the request of the father, publish the following: He was standing upon a log with his gun when another boy, Zadoc Adams, approached him and requested to see his gun. Frank handed it to him and Zadoc examined it for a few minutes, cocked it, and as he was handing it back, it was accidentally discharged, the whole charge entering the neck, cutting off the jugular vein and lodging in the back of the neck, near the spine, and just at the base of the skull. The report was at once circulated by the frightened boy that Frank had fallen from the log and in his fall had discharged his own piece. But we understand on Saturday morning last, he went with Mr. L. to the place of the accident, and upon being assured that no one blamed him, confessed the facts as above stated--Chronicle.
