Awakened from some pleasing dreams
And found that ange by her side.

He'll wing his way to that bright shore,
And find his way to Heaven again.

A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR In THE
VILLAGE OF WESTON.

and Uses a Shot sun With
Telling Effect.

From parties who were in Dawson
Friday from Weston, the Webster coun-
ty town that is near the Terrell line, THE
NEWS learned of a sensational affair that
occurred there the day before.
R. T. Dismuke, son of DR.. Dismuke.
was shot there the day before by Mrs. j
R. Adams, wife of the village black
smith, with shot gun.
Young Dismuke, who was employed
by Mr.. Adams as a helper in his shop.
went over to the Adams home to get
a bucket of water for use in the shop,
and while he was at the well Mrs. Adams
came from her residence with shotgun
and fired at him, many of the shot
taking effect in bis back and shoulders.
She attempted to shoot again, but Dis
nuke caught the gun and escaped an
other load of led.
There are two versions Of the cause of
the shooting, Mrs Adams saying that
Dismuke had made insulting proposals
to her, and Dismuke claiming that he
was shot because be had
fused to cut stovewood for Mrs.
Adams.
Dismuke is not seriously wounded
and will recover.
