Bum luck for the poor gentleman!!!! Died in gas explosion under his sporting goods store, Royal Oak Mich.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
