MRS. JOE MILAN PROBABLY
FATALLY WOUNDED
Domestic Trouble Leads to Tragedy
in Weakley County.

Tuesday morning at about 8
O'Clock Joe Milan shot andaprobably
fatally wounded his wife at their
home southeast of Fulton. He used
a 38-caliber revolver, and fired from
three to five times. The physicians,
Drs. Marshall Alexander and r. N.
Whitehead, were uncertain about the
number of wounds she received, ow-
Ing to the fact that some of the
wounds were where the bullets came
out. Mrs. Milan is in dangerous
condition, although the doctors
stated that she had chance to re-
cover.
Immediately after the shooting
Milan made his escape, running
through the fields in front of his
house. 1t was rumored that he had
secured a car later to make his get
away. officers are on his track and
it is thought that he will soon be
captured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Milan had been sep
arated and divorced, but recently
were married again. 1t was rumored
that some difficulty had arisen be-
tween them again, and Mrs. Milan
had made known her intention of se-
curing q divorce again.
Tuesday morning, according to
our information, Deputy Sheriff Ar
thur Rogers came to the Milan home
to serve the divorce papers on Milan.
Mrs. Milan was in the front yard
and Milan warned her not to enter
the house. We were not able to learn
whether she started into the house,
but shortly after this Milan whipped
out revolver and opened fire on her.
She fell in the front yard, and Milan
dashed across the road into the field.
The officer had no weapon with him,
and by the time he secured help Mi
lam had disappeared.
The Milan home is the old Strong
home, where some ten years ago Will
Sawyer shot and killed Miss Winnie
Strong, a 17-year-old girl. Sawyer
escaped and was never apprehended.
