Augusta, Ca, May 22.-Albert Mills
about % years old, was accidentally shot
and very dangerously wounded by young
fellow named Glover at Clarks Hill, on
the Port Royal and Western Carolina
railroad this morning. The young
men were on an excursion train

ding pistol, when it went off and shot
Mills through the intestines. The wound
ed man was sent back to Augusta as soon
as possible. and taken to his home on
Moore avenue. Several surgeons
were on hand and an in
effectual attempt was made to
locate the bullet. The ball entered the alb
domen on the left side and ploughed its
way through the intestlnes. There is
believed TO be little chance of Mills re-
covering, and he is hardly expected to sur
vive the night.
The young man, who did the shooting
and his victim were warm friends, and
Glover is deeply distressed at the acci-
dent.
