12-Year Old Boy Accident Victim
Stanley Subic Shot to Death by Youthful Playmate Near Big Piney Home
As a result of an accidental shooting last Sunday which occurred on the North Piney creek, near Big Piney in Sublette County, Stanley Haffner Subic, aged 12 years, lost his life.
Stanley, until three years ago, lived in Rock Springs attending the East Flat School, but since that time has lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Subic, in Big Piney. Both Mr. and Mrs. Subic, (the latter formerly was Mrs. Haffner), are former residents of this city. The body of the unfortunate boy, accompanied by his parents and Albert Galevich, was brought to Rock Springs last Sunday night by L.D. Tanner of the Big Piney Mercantile company.
Albert Galevich, a boy of 13 years, of Rock Springs and a playmate of the victim, was visiting in the Subic home in Big Piney. On last Sunday a fishing party was arranged and it was while on this trip that a .22 calibre rifle in the hands of the Galevich boy accidentally discharged, the bullet lodging in the chest of Stanley Subic, his playmate, killing him instantly. The Subic boy appeared from behind a bunch of willows as the gun was emptied of its contents. The Galevich boy was in the act of tying his shoe with the gun across his knees and, owing to the safety device failing to work, caught the trigger in his clothing.
Funeral services were held from the South Side Roman Catholic church, this city, Wednesday morning in charge of the Rogan Mortuary and with Rev. Anton Schiffrer officiating. Interment was in St. Joseph’s cemetery.
