MRS. BRIDGES KILLED
BY ACCIDENTAL SHOT
GUN IN THE HANDS OF A SIX.
YEAR-OLD SON INFLICTED
A FATAL WOUND.

This entire community was great
ly shocked and saddened on Wednes-
day by the distressing accident which
later resulted in the death of Mrs.
Carlton Bridges, of Doverel.
Mr.. Bridges had been hunting and
about o'clock returned home
and explained to his wife that the
gun would not fire. He left it on the
porch and went off again with Mr..
W. 5. Thornton. In the meantime the
eldest son, Lee, had returned from
school, and his mother, who was sew
ing In room adjoining the porch,
was surprised to see him enter with
the gun in his hand, but he insisted
that it was not loaded. Yielding to his
mothers protests, however, he turn
ed to leave the room to put the gun
back on the porch, when in some I'M
accountable way it was discharged,
the entire load entering Mrs. Bridges
leg back of the knee as she stood by
the bed cutting out a garment. The
little fellow was horror-stricken over
the accident, and ran for DR.. Thorn
as, who responded quickly and did
everything possible to staunch the
flow of blood
Mrs. H. 0. Thornton was hurried
ly summoned and with Mr. Thornton
reached her sisters side in a yerv
short time. DIR. Thomas realized the
seriousness of the wound, and pre-
pared to take the patient at once to
a hospital at Albany.
The matter of amputating the
limb was considered and saline in
jections were given in the hope that
Mrs. Bridges might rally from the
great loss Of blood. After a consul
tation of physicians it was decided
that TRANSMISSION of blood was the
only hope of saving the patients
life, and Mrs. Thornton insisted that
it be done at once from her veins.
So rapidly did Mrs. Bridges sink the
physicians saw that this would avail
nothing, and they could only watch
by the bedside as the life quickly
ebbed away.
The body reached Dawson from
Albany over the Seaboard Friday af-
ternoon, and an impressive funeral
service was conducted by Rev. T. B.
Stanford and Rev. T. NJ Galloway at
the Methodist church in the presence
of many relatives and friends. The
choir rendered very touchingly
Death Is Only a Dream" and Near
err Ny God to Thee" Very comfort
ing were the words of the ministers,
based on the scripture LET not your
heart be troubled" The body was
laid to rest in Cedar Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Bridges is survived by her
husband and four young children,
several brothers and sisters, and
many other relatives and friends in
the county. She was the daughter
of the late DR.. and Mrs. J. T. Lee, of
Doverel, and was young woman of
many admirable traits of character.
which drew about her a wide circle
of devoted friends who sorrow with
the broken-hearted ones of her own
household.
For number of years Mr.. and
Mrs. Bridges resided in Dawson, only
last winter removing to Doverel
No blame attaches to any one, but
the agony of the father and son over
the terrible accident is heart-rending.

Plugged Him in Thigh and Shout
der. He Is Now in Coon

AT the "old plantation" show of
the carnival Friday night Bill Duck
went on the war path, and for awhile
there was rough house.
1t seems that Duck became jealous
of another negro, Bill Stevens, be-
cause of attention shown negro
woman, and pulled pistol and fired
two shots at the object of his wrath.
One ball hit Stevens in the thigh
and another in the shoulder, but
neither wound is thought to be of a
serious nature.
Duck is in jail, and will answer to
a charge of assault with intent to
murder.

recklessness of negroes, many of
them driving without lights, is re-

we think it hardly fair to lay all the
