John Ericsson
Near New Whatcom, Wash., John Ericsson, a Swede, while trying to pull off a board nailed across what he supposed was a deserted cabin, and in which he proposed to pass the night, was shot by a trap gun from the inside and killed. The cabin belonged to wood choppers, and had been frequently entered and robbed, and they took this means of protection.
