FATAL ACCIDENT.

liz. P. Carroll Accidentally
Shoots His Brother, Rufus
and Kills Him.
Last Saturday afternoon about
the time all business men were
starting home for supper, what
appeared to be the slamming OF
a screen door or dropping OF a
board was heard by many on
the streets, and no notice was
taken Of the sound until DR..
Hughes was summoned to the
pool hall several minutes after
and was told that Rufus Carroll
had been shot. The doctor rush.
ed through the pool hall and into
the rear Of the building occupied
by Aubrey Thrash as cafe, where
he found Rufus Carroll lying on
his back near the southwest cor
ner Of the room, with blood
streaming from a hole In his
his forehead. A moment only
was required to determine that
the young man was dead, tho the
pulse was still beating. No one
was in the place at the time the
doctor reached the place, but the
brother was sitting in the alley
way rs the doctor passed, pros
trated. Further from the coro-
ner's investigation Of the case
Sunday morning at nine o'clock.
II was learned that the place
having been closed the evening
before under an agreement with
Officials. there was no one in the
room at the time Of the sad and
fatal occurance except r. p. Car

but Il did explode n cartridge as
r. p. took Il down. and the bull
let sped as with an unerring aim
straight through the brain Of his
brother. striking him in the fore
head near the center and just
above the right eye coming out
at nearly the center OF the back
Of the head.
Il Is doubtful IL Rufus was
conscious Of even the fash
from the revolver. Il requiring
