Tragedy at Lucedale.


LUCEDALE, Miss, July 3, 1906.
EDITOR HERALD:-Last evening be-
tween FIVE and six o'clock, man by
the name of Brewer, entered the
house of his wifes mother and began
shooting at any and all the family.
He shot his mother-in law dead,
breaking her neck. Then turning on
his wifes grandmother, fired on her,
the bullet taking effect IN her hand.
Next, he fred at his wife and small
baby, first at the baby, the ball en-
tering at the back part of the shout
der and ranging into is arm mang-
ling it fearfully. Then he shot mis-
wife as she ran off. The bullet en-
tered at the edge of the backbone and
passed out above the left nipple.
He then fired at his own brain but
failed to do the deed, only giving
scalp wound This was all done in
less than the space Of two minutes.
Some of the neighbors who saw it,
started after him unarmed and he
turned, cursed them and told them
to mind their own business. BY this
time men were gathering from all
points, some of them armed Brew
or saying this; told them he had
done the most he wanted to 10, and
they could have his body if they
wanted it, put the pistol to his fore
head and fired This time the bullet
passed through his brain and he sank
unconscious to the ground.
The cause of all the trouble start
ing is supposed to be his wife quit
ting him few days ago.
The man evidently intended killing
the whole family. The men folks of
the family were away at work, and
only for the assistance given Mrs.
Brewer in getting concealed, he
would have followed her and finished
her and the child. One little child
hid its self and another was secreted
in barber shop near by.
Mrs. Brewer may be mortally
wounded The child is badly hurt,
but with care she may recover.
Brewer lived two Or three hours.
Excitement ran high and some of
the men wished for him TO live that
he might be saved for more awful
death.
Every thing is quiet here this
morning, just as if this awful tragedy
had not happened.
