Accidentally Shot

Dr. T.B. Hinson was called to Putman, a few days ago, to assist Dr. Leatherock in surgery. Mr. Branham handled a shot gun carelessly and the trigger hit a table leg. The whole charge went through his left side just missing his heart. It was an awful wound and Drs. Hinson and Leatherock removed a large portion of flesh and a rib. Mr. Branham will recover.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

Theo. Branham, living three and a half miles northeast of town was perhaps fatally shot through

the left lung Wednesday morning. It seems that Mr. Branham and his wife were out milking when a

hawk flew over and Mr. Branham ran to the house to get his gun. Mrs. Branham heard a shot, but

supposing he had shot at the hawk, finished milking the cows and then went to the house. She found

Mr. Branham laying in the kitchen shot as above stated. It is supposed that in taking the gun from

the rack it was discharged. Dr. Leatherock was called to attend the wonded man, but as he is advanced

in years and in poor health it is thought he cannot recover. --Putnam Pioneer.
