Shot His Brother, Not a Turkey

Wadesboro, Sept. 15 - A most singular and horrible accident occurred in the 
upper part of this county early this morning. Messrs. Charlie and Thomas 
Curlee, sons of David Curlee, Esq, went out on Richardson's Creek turkey 
hunting before it was light. Thomas went up in the top of a tree to yelp up 
the birds while his brother was out on the skirts of the forest. Not knowing 
where his brother was, Charlie followed the sound of the yelping, thinking it 
was a turkey and spying an object in the top of a tree, fired at it. To his 
utter amazement and horror he had shot his brother who fell to the ground and 
died almost instantly. The surviving brother is prostrated with grief.
