FINNED BY A FISH,
FELL DEAD In BOAT
PROMINENT LUMPKIN MAN EX-
PRES WHILE FISHING IN
TERRELL COUNTY.

Mr. W. NJ. WEIGH, a prominent
merchant of Lumpkin, fell dead in
boat in which he was fishing at
WMiford's mill pond, in Terrell coun-
ty, last Thursday.
Mr.. WEIGH had pulled in a good
size jack fish, and was in the act of
removing it from the hook when he
was given deep cut by the fin of
the fish.
Immediately Mr.. WEIGH fell over
in the boat, and was dead when
reached by his friends. who were not
more than sixty yards away.
On medical examination it was
found that Mr. Welch's death was
the result of heart failure, and the
excitement resulting from the cut in
his hand was the indirect cause.
The deceased and a party from
Lumpkin were spending the day fish
ing at the mill.
