1 Killed by IIis Slop-Son.
Simeon Morgan, the well and
favorably known colored demoj.
crar who for some years has been H
employed by Sheriff Hunter about
I the court room during the sessions
of court, was shot by his |
step-son, Henry Pratt, during the
' eaily part of last Friday night
1 and died from the effects of the ^
' wound about 4 o'clock a. m. Sat- ^
urday. Pratt claims that he was ^
' awoke by a commotion among
1 his chickens and going to the
> door heard a noiso near the chick*
en coop, hailed, and then fired.
He then hurried off'to Mr llarpl
cr's, who lived near, to get some
: more shells, having fired tho only
1 0110 he had, and on the way ..
r woke up a Petterson negro who M
accompanied him. On retumto
the house they found old I
man Simeon on the ground badly
wounded, the load having taken
. effect in his breast. The Patter- 1
son boy hurried to town for Dr 1
McDow who went at once and
did what he could but death was V
inevitable from the nature of the |
wounds. It is stated that before
dying Simeon made a statement 1
exonerating tlie boy from any i
blame.
Morgan had not lived with his l)l
wife for several years, but with
his mother and children by - his I
first wife, near the double trestle. |
He was going on a visit to his _
wife when he met his tragic death* I
Coroner Caskey is making a I
thorough investigation into the J
matter as some arc disposed to
think the shootiag was intentional
on tho part of Pratt on account
of rumors that he and his step- p|
father were not overly friendly. ^
Prntt is in jail, having been arrested
by Sheriff Hunter the next I
morning after the shooting, and J.
will be held until the coroner
finishes his investigation.
