4 Sad Mistake.

One of the saddest occurrences that
the HERALD has been called upon tc
chronicle Tor quite a while occurred In
East Dallas on Wednesday night about
IL o'clock. 1t serves TO illustrate that q
precipitate use of firearms is at al
times dangerous, and is often followed
by deep and lasting regrets. While in
the present instance no blame attaches
20 the party who inflicted tho injury
vet a word of warning might nave
averted what has proven mos
painful incident. Mr.. l. 5. Green, al
old man aged about O. years, resides IN
The suburbs of East Dallas, just south
of the fair grounds He has friend, g
Mr.. Covey, also an old man, who lives
u short distance in tho country. The
latter has Tor long time been suffering
from a chronic attack Of chills and fever
and accepted Il cordial invitation from
Mr.. Green to enjoy the hos
pitality Of tho latter's home
that he might re mora carefully
and skillfu!ly attended. Brothers
could not have entertained fouder re-
gard for each other, aud tho arrar ge'
mont was highly pleasing and salts re-
tory to both. The room occupied ny
Mr.. COvey was adjoining that of MIR.
Green and Il grandchild. On retiring

tered TO himself dose of medicine, and
about - o'clock had occasion TO leave
his room. He, Of course, did not nc
unaint Green of the TACT. In reaching
the rear promises, il being very dark,
no stumbled against u lOOsonsd
gate, which fell heavily 10 the
ground. The noise awakened Green,
and his first impulse was that burglars
were Invading the premises. He accord
ingly seized his revolver, a 4i-caliUre, of
an sucieng pattern, and rushed to the
rear door of the building. AS he opened
it he disco yered the figure OF man
near an outhuusc, but did not identity
him. He fired the revolver in the direc-
ton Indicated with the intentiOn, ne
states, of merely frigbtoning the in.
trudGr. Ho says that ho aiiaed high,
that he might iuillcJ no dam-
age, hut 10 his horror the re-
port Of the weapon was supplemented
by appealing grOans. On repairing to
lie syot, he discovered his old friend,
Covey, promo upon the ground, ard
| welLering II blood. The wounded man
was assisted to his room and as comtOrJ-
ably cared for as WAS possible. The
hulI took effect just below the left eye,
| but what curse it pursued was not
| armed. DIS. Eagon, Tnruston, Bullitt
and Cox were Summoned to attend
the patient, and probed for the
ball, but were unable to locate
it. The optic has been destroyed, and
while the old man ut last accounts was
still alive, his life is reported to be
hanging on mere thread. Green is
soreiy depressed and lamentably regrets
the unfortunate occurrence. Both par
| ties are sufferers from the accident, but
the brief and anxiety of Green seem &c
surpass the pain OF Covey.
