   ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF
   
   Last Saturday about 12 o'clock Glenn Evans shot himself with a shot gun, the
accident happened near Personville, about nine miles from town. Glenn was out
there visiting his brother-in-law, Henry Slaughter and Saturday they were out 
hunting and while Glenn was passing through a thicket the gun hung on a vine 
jerking it back causing a discharge of one load. The load took effect from the
rear, enter the large part of the thigh just below the hip. The bone divided the
load, seven shot passing through the leg coming out the front. A doctor was
summoned and dressed the wound. Saturday evening he was brought to the home of
his mother, Mrs. M. E. Evans, who lives on 4th Avenue and Pecan St. .  Dr. J. E.
Sneed is attending the patient since he has been moved home and his condition 
is as good [as] could be expected.

   PROVED FATAL
   
  Last Friday evening at 4 o'clock, at the home of his mother, Mrs. M. E. Evans, 
Glenn Evans was relieved of his sufferings by the death angel.
  It will be remembered, Glenn happened to the accident of shooting himself on 
February 16th, however, he was improving very rapidly until Thursday of last 
week when he was seized with that much dreaded disease, lock-jaw, which made his 
death so sure. 
   He was 14 years of age, and was unusually manly for a boy of his age, quiet, 
peaceable and a model for imitation for his associates whom he left behind.
   His remains were laid to rest in the Driver cemetery, Saturday evening, at 5 
o'clock, Rev. J. W. Goodwin conducting the services. 
   May the near and dear relatives become more reconciled that there is a 
Supreme Being that does all things well.
