Reckless Shooting.


Willie Romine, boy about u years
old who resides in South GAINESVILLE,
was shot and severely wounded Satur-
day afternoon by an unknown man
who gives his name as John Abner.
The shooting occurred in Mr.. Robert
Manning's corn field short distance
South of the city,. A lot of small boys
were at work there thinning corn
when Abner accompanied 10y Il man
whom he says is his brother, came
into the field apparently hunting birds.
The only gun they carried was small
target rifle and the boys began 10 jeer
them about their poor equipment.
One little fellow in a hooking way
barred his breast and said I'll give you
leave to shoot at me with that thing"
whereupon Abner raised the gun and
fired. The ball struck Willie Romine
III the abdomen inflicting what was
thought to be a mortal wound. Ro-
mine was not the boy who made the
taunting remark. Et. AA
A writ was soon afterward sworn out
for Abner and he was arrested by con-
stable Robert Lyle. Being brought be-
fore Esqr., Reed Monday, he waved an
examination and was committed to
Jail in default of $1,000 bond. He
made several contradictory excuses for
his rash act, each of them being a plea
that it was an accident. 4sfEkf.
He was about eighty-five yards from
the boy when he shot and it may be
that he thought the rifle wouldn't carry
so far. The cartridge used was a
number q long. .-.r
Abner was travelling with a squad
OF five men in a skiff on the river
H@MMd his companions are unknown
hereabouts and appear to be tramps.
He claims to have lived in Hopkins
vile, Franklin and Nashville. Says
he once had a grocery store in the
last mentioned place.
Romine's wound was not so serious
as was at first supposed, his bowels
having escaped INJURY. He is getting
on very well and is in fair way to
recovery.

The principal feature of the pro-

After this there were several songs
and instrumental performances on
the piano, all OF which did much cred

a clear, distinct tone, without any evi-
