Shot Missed Its Mark

Ten Year Old Girl Was Victim of Assassin’s Bullet

Columbus, Ga. – A bullet fired in an attempt to assassinate T.J. Haden, a 
farmer, at his home four miles west of this city, missed Mr. Haden and struck 
his ten-year-old daughter, Elbin, in the abdomen.  She died from the wound.

The father and mother were seated on the porch at the time and the child was in 
the hall of the house.

No clue is known to the assassin yet, though the officers are making a diligent 
search.

M.V. Culpepper of Girard, Ala., was arrested on suspicion of shooting at 
Haden.  The two had a fight recently and bad feeling existed between them.
