"Mr. Retzinger, the well-known baker, employed at the Reinert Bakery, met his death Monday morning about 11 o'clock in a horrible manner at his home in Stringtown, where he lives with a young grandson, Carl Retzinger, about 14 years of age.
Mr. Retzinger had been at work all night in the bakeshop, and when he went home, the boy had been out hunting, just having returned. It seems the boy does the cooking, and did not have dinner ready.
Mr. Retzinger became angry and grabbed the gun and struck it over a stone wall, having hold of the barrel. Both barrels of the gun were discharged, the loads striking him in the groin, killing him almost instantly. His right hand was torn into ribbons."
