Show Girlish Prank Ends Fatally. Leona Whitehouse, aged 17 years, was seriously and perhaps fatally shot by mistake by William Massey, a near neighbor, in Denver. With two other girls, Miss Whitehouse dressed in boys' clothing and went about the neighborhood of her home, corner South Ninth street and West Tenth avenue, ringing door bells and playing play-ing similar pranks. Her hat blew into Massey's yard, and when she went after it, Massey, thinking her a chicken thief, fired at her with a pis-tol, pis-tol, the ball taking effect in her face. |
