Il REMARKABLE SHOT.
Ho5c Ke1ttuckian Put Bullet
Through Bottle on His Head.

Hangaround jackson County, KY Feb. 5 (Spe-
ciaD.-A remarkable record in craftsmanship was
made at a turkey shoot at the Roundstone Sinks,
about ten miles from this place Thursday after
noon Word Of the feat was brought to-day by
Jedediah Chick the mail carrier. and by Fred
Jewett a well known lawyer. The stories Of these
two men, both eye witnesses agree in every detail.
The turkey shoot we'll under way, and about
half the birds had been killed. when Peter McHons
well known shot and notorious bad man." ap-
peered and attempted to enter the contest. pro-
test was at once raised by the poorer shots and
as these included every man interested, it was de-
cided in fairness TO the Others to bar out McHone
His protests unheeded. and the shoot con-
t!nued
After it was over McIIone attempted to win
enough to pay him for his tramp to the place by
placing bets his own prowess with the rife He
suggested betting on various difficult feats Of
craftsmanship, but great is his reputation that
1t was not till he offered to place empty whiskey
flask fat on his head and shoot out the bot
tom with bullet that should pass through the
neck, without breaking the sides. the rife to be
fired straight ahead from his shoulder that he
aroused interest This proposed feat seemed to
every too great for his skill, and in ten
minutes he had wagered everything of value he
had about him at good odds.
Preparations at made for his attempt.
A whiskey bottle produced. emptied and
placed on McHones head. He made all the specta-
tors sit down, that they would be safe, and
glanced around the yard Of the homestead. Then
he raised his rife, took careful aim and fred at the
side of the house. An instant later the bottom fell
from the bottle, and McHone held up the un-
broken sides and neck.
AT once incredulous protests arose, and 1t became
evident that BfcHone could collect the wagers
unless he showed how he had accomplished the
feat. He smiled and led the crowd to the side of
the house, where the mark of the bullet plain.
II had been detected toward hickory tree fifty
feet distant There. too, McHons showed the mark
OF the bullet, which had again been detected. Nc
Hone pointed ont the bullets course-from the

dangling from the we'll sweep, and from the well

the corn crib, where the bullet, still warm, was
found embedded in a door.
