Ira was hunting rabbits with his 15-year-old brother, Lloyd, when the accident occurred. The boys, who were alone on the farm at the time summoned help and Ira was at once brought to the hospital in an ambulance. Examination disclosed that the charge of shot had entered the abdomen and had lodged there. Father in Creston James Dillon, father of the boys, had left them at the farm at 10:30 in the morning while he came to Creston on business. When he left the boys were occupied at their chores around the farm. After dinner however, they had finished their work and decided to hunt rabbits. Ira was using a twelve gauge shotgun, and a rabbit had just run under a pile of wood, laying the gun on the pile of wood, he attempted to drive the rabbit from cover, and as it jumped out he reached for his gun. Evidently the hammer of the gun caught on the wood, and he received the full charge of shot in the abdomen. Walks 200 Yards The two boys were about 400 yards from a school house at the time of the accident and they started there for help. Ira walked about half the distance before he collapsed and sent his brother on for help. He was at once carried to the school house and a physician was summoned from Prescott. At the same time the ambulance was ordered from Corning and he was brought to Creston. The accident occurred about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and Ira died at 8 last night. Had Often Hunted Mr. Dillon said this morning his sons had hunted a great deal in the past and that they were accustomed to using a gun. Some time ago they had spent a few months in Colorado and while there the boys had participated in several coyote hunts, using hounds and horses. Since that time the boys had spent much of their spare time hunting and this fall had participated in several coon hunts with neighbors, so there was nothing unusual about them going out with the guns in his absence. Besides the father, James Dillon, one brother, Lloyd, who was with Ira at the time of the accident, and one sister survive. The boyd will be at the Roland funeral home until 10:30 tomorrow morning, when it will be taken to the Adams county First Baptist church, where the funeral will be held at one o'clock. Interment will be in the cemetery at the church.
