Negro Meets Death
When Philanthropy
Misguides "A Truck

When Bailey Dumas diverted his
attention from driving a truck to
save a negro passenger from being
burned, the truck headed off the
roadbed and into the drainage ditch,
resulting in the death of the negro.
Fate thus handed a destination
to Bud McGook on last Friday
Bud was among a number of negroes
bound for Paris from the road
builders camp near Cottage Grove,
going home to spend the Christmas
tide. Along near the H. w. Shell
farm home Buds clothing caught
afire from a lantern on the truck.
The driver. Mr.. Bailey Dumas, turned
to help extinguish the sudden flame,
and as he did so the truck changed
It's course and went into the ditch.
The negro was instantly killed, his
neck having been broken. He came
here with the road building gang
from Victoria, Mississippi.

LAD Is FATALLY
INJURED HUNTING
Robert Young, Thirteen Years Old,
Dies From Gunshot Wound
BY AccidenI.

Probable carelessness with a gun
resulted in the almost instant death
of little Robert Young, age 10. son
Of Mrs. Matte Young, N. Market
street on Monday and cast a gloom
over the Christmas holidays for his
many little playmates and relatives.
The accident occurred at the home
OF his aunt, Mrs. Sam Cole, one mile
and half north of Mansfield,
Monday morning at nine o'clock, as
he was attempting to climb a fence
with his gun, Al single barrel shot
gun. He lived only five hours, never
regaining consciousness enough to
talk except to ask for water, and
died at p. nj.
In company with his cousin, Sam
MCGEE, Robert was waiting in a
field near the Cole home for several
other boys to go with them hunting.
Impatient for their approach, and
halloing failing to summon them,
Robert determined to mount the
fence and shoot from heighth so
that the lads would be hurried. He
either fell and accidentally released
the hammer of the gun, or the ham
mer caught on a rail as he was
climbing the fence.
His cousin, who was short dis
tance away saw him fall backward
over the fence when the gun was
shot, and ran to him as he failed to
get a response when he called him.
Mrs. Cole was on her porch, and
seeing the accident was soon at the
boys side. Assistance quickly sum
moned soon showed that the shoot
ing was perhaps fatal, and it was
quickly discerned that Robert could
survive but a few hours. the shots
having entered his right cheek, and
pierced the brain, almost tearing
away an entire half of the face and
head.
His mother, Mrs. Matte Young,
and his sister, Ina Katherine Young,
reached his bedside a short while
before his death, but he did not
open his eyes nor recognize them.
Funeral services were conducted
Wednesday morning at the residence
N. Market street, by Rev. W. G..
Waters. Interment was at Maple
wood
Robert was the son, of the late
Lucian Young, he was a manly,
likeable little chap, help and happi-
ness to his mother. He was in the
seventh grade at Atkins-P orter
SCHOOL, He was a regular boy, fond
of baseball and sport, a lover of a
gun and dog. He had been hand
ling gun for two years, and was
considered by his playmates to be a
fair shot.
Deep community sympathy goes
out to the grief stricken mother,
and tender and loving pity of rela-
t.ves and friends was expressed in
the wealth of beautiful floral tributes,
Besides his mother, only one sis
ter. Miss Ina Katherine Young, 16,
survives.
