BOY MEETS 4 TRAGIC DEATH
Johnnie Telfair Accidentally
Shoots Himself.

Saturday morning about ii O'Clock
Johnnie TeIfair, the thirteen-year~
old son of John S. Telfair, pas
senger conductor on the north end
of the Central, met a tragic death
near Garrett. The unfortunate Lad
in company with two small COM
panions, Quinlan Daffan and son
of Rev. Penrod, were hunting birds
in an old field about a mile east of
Garrett. Johnnie was carrying the
gun, a 22-caliber target rifle, and in
some way it was accidently dis
charged, the ball penetrating the
b o Y heart, producing instant
death. The dead boy was taken to
the home of T. II. Farrar, from
which place the body was taken to-
Ennis on a special car sent out by
Superintendent Daffan. Mr.. Tel"
fair was out of the city on his re-
gular run when the unfortunate ac-~
cident occurred. 1t was a very sad
affair and Mr.. Telfair is almost
heart broken. The funeral services
took place in Ennis yesterday ana a
large crowd was in attendance.
