Shot By His Brother
Cleveland Pitts Badly Wounded by a Pistol in the Hands of Fred Pitts

Williamson, Jan. 1 - Yesterday afternoon at 6 o’clock, young Fred Pitts 
accidentally shot his brother Cleveland. They were standing together while Fred 
was loading a pistol and it went off, the bullet entering the body on the left 
side just below the heart. It is a very dangerous wound and may prove fatal. 
Dr. Beauchamp was hastily summoned and is using all the skill and attention 
that medical attention can afford. The boys are the sons of J.A. Pitts, of this 
place. Fred is about 17 years old and Cleveland is about 15 years of age. The 
bullet was taken out last night and the wound dressed. The boy, though in much 
pain, is resting well at this time.
