SAD ACCIDENT.
Fired at Wild Cat and Killed His
Father-in-Law.

MAoHIAs, March 12.-John W. Feeney of
Jonesboro, was shot yesterday, by Colby Pert,
his son-in-law, with whom he was at work in
the woods. The two men have been carrying
on numbering operations near Chandler's river
the past winter, and having completed their
seasons work, began breaking camp preparato-
ry to removing home. While thus engaged
Pert says he saw huge wildcat prowling in
the vicinity. and seizing his rifle fastened to
capture him. The creature succeeded in elud-
ing him for some time, when Pert saw what he
supposed to be the head of tho animal partial
" covered by the thick underbrush. He in
stantly fired, when deep groan of agony re-
vealed the fact that ne had shot Feeney, whom
he supposed was at the camp. He hastened to
the dying man, who was unconscious. Yet
hoping to save his life, ne laid him on the
horse sled and drove rapidly to Whitneyville,
three or four miles distant, where medical as
sisiance might be procured; but upon arrival
at the latter place life was extinct.
Examination showed that the ball had en-
tered the forehead and penetrated the brain,
probably causing death within few minutes.
These ara the facts necessarily largely gath
cred from Pert himself, but whose story is not
doubted, excepting the part relating to the wild
cat. The two men were good hunters, ex-
ceedingly fond of the sport, and for some tine
have been suspected of poacbing Hence the
theory is set up, and perhaps not without rea-
son, that they were pursuing deer when the
sad accident occurred, as it is well known that
the excitement of the chase renders it more or
less dangerous, Indeed, hairbreadth escapes
and sometimes death, are caused by men being
mistaken for game by their nervous and excit-
ed companions under such circumstances.
Pert's acquaintances say he is thoroughly
reliable and good-natured man, which entities
his statement to much credence. He is a resi-
dent Of Vinalhaven, in this State, is a stone
cutter by occupation, and was spending the
winter with his father-in-lsw, as above indi-
Gated.
