Don't SHOOT
AGAIN CHARLIE
Walled Yves Smith as He
Fell From Buggy Dead.
Had Been Paying His Respects to
Charlie Fulkerson's Wife
Fulkerson Exonerated.

ooh! Charlie don't shoot me again,
you have already killed me-" These
ane tee hast words uttered by Yves
Smith, of Rocluport, this county, We'd
nesdny afternoon and indicate his men
tai and PHYSICAL agony during the
last moments of his earthly existence.
He had twice received the contents
OF single barrel shot gun in the
hands of Charlie Fulkerson, and as
Fnlkerson was again loading his gun
for him ne gave out this lamentable
wall. 1t was all the result of Smiths
attention to Fulkerson's wife, If re-
ports are correct.
Fulkerson and Smith were co-labor-
ems, having worked together at the
Rockport stave factory for tee past
few months. Fulkerson had an idea
and correct one, too, according to
current reports, that Smith had been
paying too much attention to his.
Fnlkerson's, wife. He pretended ne
was going hunting and leaving home
Wednesday morning went to the home
of Warren Igleherat about hak way
between Rockport and Ceralvo. There
he procured q single barrel slot gun
and returned home. On his way ne
emptied the shot from the bulls he
had and loaded them with bicycle balls
On reaching home he found Smith
. sitting in a buggy In front of his,
Fulkenson's, home and Immediately
opened fire. He shot twice,e each time
'pausing long enough to reload, and
was in the act Of firing again when
Smith uttered this pitiful wall. Iris
did not prevent third shot which
was fired into Smiths body as ne
fell from the buggy. He expired al
most instantly. On his body were
found numerous letters from Fulker-
sons wife which confirm Fulkerson
in his belief. Fulkerson fled the spot,
going to his mothers two miles from
Rockport, where he still remains.
Yesterday morning Esq. j. H. Miles
was notified, summoned jury. and
held an inquest. After hearing the
evidence the jury returned a verdict
generating Fulkerson from blame.
Fulkerson was born and reared near
Rockport and unfortunately Gns al
ways been of weak mentality Smith
came 10 Rockport a few months ago
from Spring Lick. He was a married
man, lis wife at the time Of tho trag-
edy having gone to her FORMER home
near Spring Lick.
Fulkerson mas not been taken into
custody and probably win not be as
he has been exonerated from any
blame for his acts
