SAD AFFMR.-0n Saturday even
ing last, Samuel Dickerson, a little
four-year-old son Of Mrs. Woodrum,
living on the farm Of Mr.. John S.
Lewis, was shot and killed by his
step-brother, Joe Woodrum, aged
about nine years. The supposition
is, that he induced the little fellow
to look into the barrel Of a shotgun,
and then pulled the trigger, dis.
charging the load which entered his
right eye, tearing through his brain
until it reached the back Of the head
where the skull was shattered to
pieces. Death was instantaneous
A coroner's jury was summoned, and,
after examining witnesses, returned
verdict that the child came to his
death at the hands Of his brother, but
failed to say whether it was inten.
tional or accidental. The boy who
cid the shooting is said to be an un-
ruly, deyilish boy, beyond the control
Of his mother, and that he delights
In destroying property and torturing
animals, and tormenting children.
We are told that even as he looked
upon his dead brother, killed by his
own hands, he seemed cold and in
different, without the slightest re-
morse Of conscience over his devilish
decd.
