SOMERSET FARMER'S TRAGIC DEATH.
Mr. Frank Radford CORNISH, a well-known and highly-esteemed Somerset farmer, residing at Aginhills Farm, Bathpool, West Monkton, was found shot on Monday afternoon. Mr. CORNISH, it is stated, told his wife that he intended to visit the bank, and in the afternoon she went to warn him of the time, when she found him lying dead near a barbed fence, with a gun by his side, one barrel having been discharged. He had told a man that he was going shooting rooks.
