LITTLE VICTIM DIES.
DriscoII Lad, Shot Near Smith.
land, Dies from Wounds.
BOY WAS ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD.

Ed. Driscoll, the eight-year-old
boy who was shot in Livingston
county, six miles from Smithland,
last Sunday by Will Wurlitzer,
aged about twenty-five years. died
Tuesday night after severe suffer
ing. Wurlitzer was arrested Tues
day afternoon by Sheriff Cowper,
aud IL now incarcerated in the Lii
vingston county jail on the charge
of murder. The funeral Of the
little victim was largely attended.
Two stories Of the tragedy are
told. One 10 that the lad persist
ed in playfully calling Wurlitzer a
gold Democrat, and this so aggrs-
waited him that he shot the child
at close range with a shotgun; the
boys left arm was almost torn
from the body, and large hole
was torn in his left side.
Wurlitzer, who is said to De Q
half witted man, claims that the
shooting was an accident, but the
boy in his dying statement charg
cd that it was intentional. The
course OF the shot shows that the
boy was going in the lopposite di
rection from Wurlitzer, The slay
er's name has been published az
Worlsy, which Is incorrect.
! The examining trial will DO hele
next week. Owing to the belief
that Wurlitzer is not strong men
tally, the feeling is not SO great Al
il would be otherwise.
