BOY KILLED FROM GUNSHOT
WOUND.
Isaac Williamson, Jr., Fatally
Shot by Comrade.

Isaac Williamson, Jr., son of Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Williamson of this vii
age, was shot and almost instantly
killed yesterday afternoon about $3.50
p. m.
The scene of the tragedy was near the
victims home on Chapman hill. The
gun was in the hands of Cushman Del
phia when the shot was fired. At the
time the Williamson boy was slightly
ahead of the other members of the
party, and the shot entered his left
shoulder, piercing his heart.
The Delphia boy had been hunting
with two comrades, George Emerson
and Nathan Grady The Delphia boy
who had hunting license, is Is years
old and the two others were younger.
On returning from the hunting trip
the boys met the Williamson boys, Isaac
and Donald, short distance from the
Williamson home and some one in the
party suggested that the boys indulge
in target practice. A target was made
by blazing tree and the boys fired
several times at the..mark using Grady's
% calibre rifle. firing of this sport,
the five lads started for home with the
older Williamson in the lead. In some
unaccountable manner Delphia's gun,
which was shot Igun was discharged
and Isaac Williamson fell, exclaiming,
"Oh. my heart. "
Delpha sent Donald Williamson for
doctor and started to carry the injured
boy to the Williamson home. The
younger Williamson stopped at his home
and notified his father, who hurried to
meet the boys. The father took his
dying son in his arms and ran for the
house, short distance away. DR.. P.
L. Dorey and DR.. S. S. Eddy were soon
at the Williamson home, but the wound
ed boy lived only few minutes after
being taken into the house.
1t was found that the charge entered
his left shoulder and pierced the heart.
A frightful hole was torn in the
shoulder, and all the arteries severed.
Much blood was lost and it is thought
that this would have caused the boy S
death if the shot had not entered his
heart
Chief of Police George H. Chaffee
was notified. He sent word to States
Attorney A. R. Sturtevant who ques-
toned the Delphia boy and his compan-
ions regarding the circumstances of the
shooting Permission was given to
prepare the body for burial. Besides
his parents the Williamson boy leaves
several brothers and sisters.
B. H. Stone, State Pathologist ar
rived this morning on the nine-thirty
train to hold an inquest. The autopsy
was performed in the undertaking
rooms of A. j. Blackmer.

A Real Hero

In fiction we often read of
acts of volunteer valor, but such
cases are rare in real, every day
life. Edwin Ledwidge, for
mer Little Rock citizen, has per-
formed a deed which puts him
in the Real Hero class. When
Mexican bandits recently held
up a train near Ell Paso, Texas,
they captured two married men
which they intended to hold for
ransom until a given time. or kill
them. The wives of the men
were on the same train and Mr..
Ledwidge, desiring to save them
agony and suspense, volunteered
in true Damon and Pythius style,
to be taken as hostage instead
of the two men chosen. The
bandits finally agreed and Mr.
Ledwidge was taken to the
mountains and threatened with
death unless $40, 600 in gold was
put up for him. Fortunately he
was rescued, and without the
payment of the ransom.
