Victim of Accident Was Brought In a
Hack About Twenty Miles, In
Order to Get Proper Med-

Were Out Hunting.

Yesterday afternoon at the Rip
Cook plantation, about twenty miles
north of the city, Louis Davis, eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs Granville Davis,
who live on Lacy street, was fearfally
and supposedly fatally shot by gun
in the hands of companion, Lacy
Helm. The shooting was accidental,
as the boys all testify.
AS soon as the news was received
here. the family physician, DR.. John
Colley, went to the scene of the ac-
cident, and the doctor at once decided
it was necessary to bring the victim
to the sanitarium here. The family,
who were at Big Lake, were hurriedly
summoned, and reached the city last
night about s o'clock, and left at
once for the Cook farm.
The shot entered just under the col
lar bone, and ranged around towards
the spine, in the back, where they are
now lodged. 1t was decided, after an
examination, not to attempt an opera
ton, and it is the opinion of the doc
tors who examined the unfortunate
young man that the wound will prove
fatal.
-Four boys had gone to the farm to
spend the day hunting, and they went
horseback. They were preparing to
return to the city, and young Davis
had mounted a horse, and Helm had

were of about his age.
Messrs. w. C. Campbell and R. c..

they reached Tennessee Colony, and
Immediately went up to the Cook
plantation, which was distant about
seven miles, and was with the young
man when the relatives and doctor ar
rived.
Young Davis few months ago was
appointed through the civil service to
the position Of assistant at the local
branch of the weather bureau, and is

character. The best wishes OF host

that the full stomached trout in your
catch will outuumber the empty
stomached ones 10 to I.
This would seem to indicate that
1t is the trout which has already dined
well that is eager for more, while the
one which has not dined at all regards
it with Indifference.
