A colored man named Tom Tur-
pin went out from town one night
last week considerably under the
influence of "bug juice" In cross
ing the bridge near Wyaconda
church, he imagined he saw two
men confronting him. His befud-
died brain was SO wrought upon
that he did not observe that it was
the horses ears he saw instead of
two men, but he quickly drew his
revolver and fired, the ball enter
ing the horses head Immediately
behind the ears and killing him
instantly. The horse fell, but Tom
was too intent on saving himself
to see what he had done, so he
took to his heels on the back track,
made a circuit through the woods
and reached his home, where he
told of the escape he had made,
how he had shot at the men and
the horse had thrown him and run
away. A search for the horse next
morning revealed the fact and
showed that Thomas was out just
S35, the price of the horse, which
he had borrowed from his father
in-law. Canton News.
