ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Erwin Mettetal Killed by a Playmate
With Revolver.

johnson City was shocked Tuesday
morning to hear that Erwin Mettetal,
the 15-year old son of Prof. and Mrs.
A. M. Mettetal, had been shot by a
playmate. The town was soon filled
with all kinds Of rumors as to how it
occurred, but the truth seems to be
that young Mettetal, Rufe Johnson,
Ed. and Jim Kent, all school boys ex-
cept Johnson, decided to spend the day
out of school and went to the knobs
opposite Hotel Carnegie to hunt noun
tain tea. Shortly after they had reach
ed the knob Ed. Kent drew revolver
and fred twice in the air. He remark
ed that he thought the gun was broke
and lowering the revolver to his waist,
was in the attitude of preaching it when
it was discharged and the ball entered
the abdomen Of Mettetal and ranged
upward, inficting a mortal wound.
The boys were badly frightened, but
Kent came at once to telephone and
summoned help. Erwin Mettetal was
carried home and given every possible
attention, but death relieved his suffer
ings about nine o'clock Wednesday
morning. He WAS a bright scholar and
was not in the habit Of missing school
and his action upon this occasion was a
surprise to his parents. Funeral SER
vices were held at the residence We'd
nesday morning by Rev. j. Van Eos
sen. The floral tributes were many
and beautiful, particularly the offering
from the Science Hillschool children.
The remains were laid to rest at the old
family graveyard on Sinking Creek.
The bereaved family have the sincere
sympathy of many friends in their pc.
culiarly sad affection.

Must FACE CHARGES.

Bristol, Tenn, Feb. 1S.-ConnelY
Mumpower, a man of family, charged
with stealing 81, $50 cash from the home
of Charles Combs, Bristol drayman,
was caught at Asheville, N. O., and
brought to Bristol today. OF the mis-
sing money $627 has been recovered
and Mumpower is anxiuos to escape the
penitentiary by paying the balance.
He will be prosecuted.
The Bristol Courier last Tuesday
morning said:
"Mumpower, who, as stated in these
columns Sunday morning, was caught
at Asheville and brought back by De-
putty Sergeant Hickman, was arraigned
before the mayor Monday. Upon the
advice of his counsel, Mayor D. A.
Vines, of Jshnson City, Mumpower
waived his right to a preliminary hear
ing, and the mayor bound him over in
the sum Of 81, 500 to await the action of
the grand jury.
"Mumpower was not able to give the
bond yesterday, and the mayor allow
ed him until today before sending him
to Jail, his relatives agreeing to under
take to secure the bond required.
SETTLES AMOUNT.
Presumably thinking that such q
course would result in his dismissal,
Mumpower arranged yesterday to set
tie in full with Combs for the amount
of money missing He turned over to
Mr.. Combs $685. in cash, and gave him
mortgage on span of horses in Ashe-
vile, and also mortgage on an SO-acre
tract of land which Mumpower owns
near Marshall, N. @.
"The deed of trust paper for this
purpose were acknowledged before
Squire A. A. Hobson Monday.
'This action, however, did not sat
isfy the law, Notwithstanding Mum
powers sister thought it would secure
her brothers release without furthe
proceedings. 1t is thought quite prob
able that Mumpower will not be abl
to give the bond, but if his case shoul'
be heard at the next criminal term o
the Hastings Court, he would have t
remain in Jail only about two week
until the case would be finally dispos
, ed Of"
The bond was not given and Mum
power was taken to Jail Tuesday eve
ming.
