FOUND DEAD. - We learn that a young man about fourteen years of age, son of 
Mr. E. W. Fuller, who resides about twelve miles north of Farmerville was 
found dead Thursday morning in a creek near his father's residence.
The young man left his home Wednesday afternoon, taking his gun with him, to 
visit Dr. Lowe's about a half mile distant, and not returning at night, his 
father went out in search of him. Being informed that his son had left Dr. 
Lowe's about sun-down the father instituted further search, and at about one 
o'clock that night, the body was found in the creek near a foot-log, with a 
ghastly gun shot wound near the arm pit.
It is supposed that the gun was discharged by accident when the unfortunate 
youth was walking the foot log and, the contents entering a vital spot, 
caused instant death.
