The young man never lost consciousness from the time of the accident until about a half hour before his death whennhe began to weaken. He passed away before his wife or brothers could reach his bedside. Alfred Barnes, who carried the fatal gun, is almost crazed with grief and before his brother's death spent most of his time at the hospital. The attending physicians state that death was almost painless. A bride of two months, father, mother, two sisters, and five brothers survive. Barnes was only 21 years old.
