Arnold Carr, about 10 years of age, was accidentally -shot and perhaps fatally wounded by his cousin, Belton Langley. age 12, near Union Chapel. between Jasper and Cordova, late Tuesday afternoon. The boy was shot with an old shotgun. From accounts received in Jasper it seems that Arnold Carr, Belton Langley and other boys had been to Gardner's gin to buy some fireworks, and on their way back home the Langley boy put toy pistol cap on the plunger of a shotgun, which he didn't know was loaded, and while pointing the gun at Arnold Carr, the weapon was acei- dentaly discharged by the exploding toy pistol cap.
 A load of No. 10 shot took effect in the Carr boys back and penetrated the lungs. A physician was sum- moned from Cordova and the wound ed boy hurried to that place for treat ment. He was bleeding from the lungs and his condition was con sidered serious.
