William Cowles
From: Ticonderoga Sentinel (Ticonderoga, Essex Co., NY) August 1904

William Cowles, a well-known guide at Piseco, Hamilton County, was accidentally shot by James E. Higgins, a resident of that place, while trying to capture a deer they had in the lake Tuesday morning. They were each in a boat, and the deer was in the lake between them. Higgins shot at the deer and the ball, glancing off the water, hit Cowles, who was in the other boat, in the left side killing him instantly.
