INDICTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER

Several weeks ago two young men at Clinton were shooting at a mark when 
Charles Meyers offered to let his companion, Peterson, shoot at him. He took 
his position at the target and Peterson hit him, but as no pain was felt the 
young man thought the ball had simply struck the clothing and fallen to the 
ground. They remained together a short time, then went to their homes, During 
the night Meyers felt some pains and in a few days died from the wound. 
Peterson paid the doctor’s bill and funeral expenses and the friends of the 
dead boy seemed satisfied, but Tuesday the grand jury returned an indictment 
against Peterson for manslaughter.
