from Burkvilie Sunday evening. some
unknown person flred q shot at the
train. The bullet crashed through the
window OF the rear coach and passed
between z. Gordon. an attorney in the
Bell building and Henry Howard, of
Lowndesboro. The shot caused much
excitement among the passengers but
no one was hurt.
Gordon and Howard were occupy
ing the same seat. The former was
leaning forward and the latter was
lounging back. The feature of the
incident was that the bullet passed
directly between their heads and
lodged itself In easement on the OPP
posite side OF the car.
The coach was filed with hunters,
returning 70 the city from a day in
the field. and they asked the conduc-
tor to stop the train for chase after
the shot firer. but this was not done.
The cause of the shooting is unknown.
