MRS. j. L. TURNER is VICTIM
OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT
HER HOME.

Mrs. Annie Mae Turner, one of
Dallas most highly and respected
young women was accidently shot
Thursday morning few minutes
past 2:30 by her husband, Attorney
j. l.. Turner at their home 1921 AL
len street.
The shooting was merely accident
al. Mrs. Turner has been sick more
than two weeks, during the period
of illness, she has been occupying
separate room from her husband
Mrs. Turner, arose early Thursday
morning and had been out on the back
porch, it is presumed and in doing
this she endeavored to avoid noise
which would disturb the slumber
of her husband, who had been unceas-
ingly working day and night for her
recovery, however as quietly as she
crept, a little noise was made and
awakening from frenZied state of
somnolence, Mr.. Turner grasped his
revolver and fired at the innocent
form of his wife through the win
dow of the room in which he slept,
mistaking her for a burglar. The
contents of the death splitting device
hit it's mark and Mrs. Turner went
crashing to the floor saying Claw
yer Turner you have shot me-"
In coming into his own and dis
covering his dreadful mistake, Law
yer Turner called for help and COL
lapsed; Dr. G. w. White, at 1917
Allen, next door hearing the noise
of the gun and the cries of Mr.. Tur-
ner rushed over and found Mrs. Tur-
ner seriously wounded. He sum-
moned DR.. Mcmillan, Hamilton, An
derson, Penn and DR.. Samuelis, upon
the physicians diagnosis it was found
that the bullet had entered the right
side passing through punctuing the
upper portion OF the liver and rang
ing downward.
The shock was so severe, 1t is
presumed that paralysis has set up
on the left limb.
Only one shot was fired by Mr..
Turner, At this writing, Mrs. Tur-
ner's condition is very. favorable and
great hopes are entertained for her
recovery by attending physicians.

NEXT ATTRACTION.

Dallas Black Giants will hook up
in Duet of games with the San
Antonio Black Bronchoes here Sun
day and Monday, June 9Th and 9th.
The appearance here of the Braves
on dates mentioned above will be
the first since Charlie Bellinger with
one of the scrappiest Machines that
ever invaded local haunts and like
a ferocious wind swept everything
within its wake. Bellinger's Broncs
were a terror to all Texas clubs
during this period and with the dis
banding of this great combination
an impression that will live as long
as the old game was made upon the
heart of fans in Texas. The Bron-
choes are historical set and and
if the 1919 Bronchoes keep up the
standard of the Alamo City, there
coming should mean ruff sledging
for the Giants.

its chief joys. Some times the sight

suit you and the optometrist didn't
have to rush you out, and maybe
slight his work lest some patient get
offended? Well, you'll have the OPP
