Reckless Shooting.

Tuesday afternoon as large num-
Der of people were standing at the
railway station awaiting the incoming
train bullet came whistling through
the air and struck against the stone
wall of the depot building, falling to
platform among forty or fifty peo-
pie The batterd bullet was picked
up by j. j. Heathcock and handed to
a Democrat rporter. 1t is not known
just where the bullet came from, as it
was shot from too great a distance for
the discharge of the gun to be heard
at the depot, but its scream was a
very unpleasant reminder to several
soldiers who were among the bystand-
ers. There is great danger in care
less shooting, especially of long range
guns.
