A PECULIAR FATALITY.
Two Mexicans Met Death at Ozona
In a Most Peculiar Manner
Friday Evening.

News reached San Angelo Mon
day of the death of two Mexicans
at Ozona in very peculiar man
ner. They we're standing facing
each other near house, talking
in a pleasant manner. One of
the hombre's had pistol in his
hip pocket which contained only
on cartridge. While standing
talking, ard perhaps gestulating
as is the manner of their race,
the pistol became loosened in the
mans pocket and fell to the
ground, The hammer struck a
rock and the cartridge exploded
with such q precision of direction
that the thigh of the Mexican who
carried the gun was pierced
through and through, the bullet
continuing Its way into the
breast and lungs of the other
man. The man whose lungs were
pierced by the bullet died in
stantly. The femoral artery i'll
the man whose thigh was pene-
trated by the bullet was severed.
the man living about 10 minutes
after the accident happened.
No one witnessed the fatal ac-
cident and only the character of
the wounds and the testimony of
the fatally injured man remained
for a solution of Just how it all
happened.
The Mexicans were held in high
regard by the people of Ozona,
being quiet, orderly, hard work
ing men whose places in life will
be hard to fill.
