A most distressing accident occurred near Macon Saturday evening, in which 
Joseph Ray, a young man 21 years old, lost his life.  Sanders Manning was 
slipping through the river swamp looking for beavers. He saw something shaking 
the bushes on the riverbanks and thinking it was a beaver fired at the object.  
It proved to be young Joe Ray who was fishing.  The load of buckshot entered 
his head and neck and he died in three or four hours.  Young Manning, the boy 
who did the shooting, is in the greatest distress on account of the sad 
accident.
