HAROLD SPINDLER ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING IN MARSH FATAL TO HUNTER Harold Spindler, 26, Died Of Wounds As Result Of Discharge Of Gun Sunday In the first hunting fatality that ever occurred on the Sheboygan marsh, Harold Spindler, 26, Fremont street, Kiel, was fatally injured Sunday morning when his 16-guage shotgun accidentally discharged under his right arm as he and two companions, Arnold Ruh and Fred Stoelting, both of Kiel, were preparing to return from a duck hunting trip on the marsh. He died at Plymouth hospital at 12:15 p.m., Sunday, an hour and a half after the accident. The charge from the gun entered the right armpit, where it tore out the blood vessels. According to Mr. Stoelting, the three men went on a hunting trip Sunday morning. At the time of the accident, about 10:45, they were two and a half miles up the Sheboygan River in the motorboat, the “North Star”. They were then preparing to leave. They had packed their equipment in the boat when Harold reached for the barrel of his double-barrel shotgun to pull it toward him. By some unfortunate chance, one of the hammers accidentally was released and the gun discharged. Ruh and Stoelting immediately started up the “North Star’s” motor, and during their hurried descent down the river, two and one-half miles to the marsh dam, their starting point, they attempted to give the injured man the best first aid they could—trying to staunch the flow of blood. Finally they reached the dam, assisted Spindler to their car and hurried to Elkhart Lake. The doctor there was not at home, so they hastened to Plymouth, arriving at about 11:45. The son of Jacob and Eleanore Spindler, nee Strassburger, Harold was born in Kiel, March 6, 1912. He attended the Kiel public schools and was graduated from Kiel High School in 1920.
