Henry Ziegland thought he had dodged
fate. In 1883, he broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who, out of
distress, committed suicide. The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted
down Ziegland and shot him. The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then
turned his gun on himself and took his own life. But Ziegland had not been killed.
The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then lodged in a tree.
Ziegland surely thought himself a lucky man.
Some years later, however,
Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it.
The task seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks
of dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing
him.
