SHOT THE WRONG MAN.
n Dawson Negro Receives a Bullet Not
Intended for Him.

Intended for Him.
Jim Turner, Dawson negro, was shot
and perhaps fatally wounded while at a
dance at the headquarters Of the section
gang of the Central railroad, about three
miles above Dawson, Saturday night.
The wounded man was brought to Daw-
son about 1 o'clock Sunday morning and
given medical attention.
Particulars of the affair are meagre:
but it seems that the shooting of Turner
was accidental, the bullet 0eingl in
tended for Will Walker, another negro.
The brother of Turner, who was at The
party, says the shooting was done by
John Mcleod, the section boss, and that
the negro, Walker, with whom Nc Le"d
had had fuss some time ago, was the
intended victim of the leaden missile.
The negro says that three shots were
fired.
McLeod's version of the affair, so we
hear, is substantially the same as the
above except that he claims that more
than three shots were fired and does not
think that either of the balls from his
pistol hit Turner. He says that Turner
was in different direction from the one IN
which he was shooting, and that he could
not have hit him. tbs also said that Will
Walker, at whom Mcleod as shooting
was hit by two or three bullets, but was
only slightly hurt.
The ball struck Jim Turner about the
left lung, and the doctors have been una
BILE to find it. They think it is in the
gung. and are of the opinion that the
chances are against the recovery OF the
wounded negro.
