 Play
Special to The Age-Herald.

Chattanooga, Jan. 3.-Last night Edward Weller, white lad aged r years, fired the contents of a single-barreled shot gun into his brother, William Weller, at East Chattanooga.
 The three boys of the family were in the habit of playing Indian with three guns possessed by the family. Last night when Edward reached home he found his broth ers William and James, in the. kitchen playing with their guns, firing blank cart ridges at each other. Edward at once pre- pared to join in the sport, and, hastily picking up cartridge, showed it in his gun, took deliberate aim at his oldest brother, William, and pulled the trigger.
 A moment later the boy realized the aw- ful consequences of his carelessness. AL most simultaneously with the report of the gun William, the boy fired at fell in a heap on the floor with the whole side of his head shot off. The cartridge was heavily loaded with bird shot and the whole load took effect. One eye was shot out, one jaw and one ear torn completely off, and he was dead when found by neighEors some minutes later.
