SHOT BY HIS FRIEND.
Rev. John Owen Fatally Wounded
While Out Hunting.

The Rev. John Gwen, well-known
Methodist preacher, was seriously and
perhaps fatally shot near his home at
Johnston Tuesday afternoon The sad
and terrible affair was purely acci-
dental, and Mr.. Walter Smith, at
whose hands it happened, is PROSTATE
with grief and in danger OF losing his
mind.
Mr.. Owen is a former presiding elder
of the South Carolina conference, and
is now a teacher in the Johnston In
stitute and pastor Of Harmony, John
ston and Spann's churches.
He was out hunting Tuesday after
noon with Mr.. Walter Smith, son Of
Mr.. Gameswell Smith. 4ney had
agreed that Mr.. Owen was to shoot to
the left and Mr.. Smith to the right,
away from each other. Unfortunately
they walked right into a coyey before
it was flushed and the birds got up
rather behind them.
Mr.. Smith whirled to shoot, but
turned the wrong way. He did not
fully cock his gun and his thumb
slipped. The contents Of the barrel
were poured into the right side Of his
devoted pastor.
Nj. Owen said, Walter, you have
killed me- Mr.. Smith laughed and
said he supposed not, but he had
missed the birds. Even then he was
not aware that Mr.. Owen was wound
ed.
The minister pointed to his side, and
when Mr.. Smith saw the blood he
started for hell, but Mr.. owen stopped
him, saying that he would probably
be dead in few minutes, and he
wanted Mr.. Smith to stay with him.
He also excused Mr.. Smith from all
blame and begged him not to feel
badly over the terrible accident.
Rev. MIR. Owen died from the effect
Of his wounds on Wednesday.
