Barr Has Since Died and the Coroner's _ i TIrvIHe r^al\/in Pniinr-r Ra J 4IW.V-J ww- - w sponsible for the Killing. Id shooting scrapes a* well as j ot her tilings it seems that the old ; adage applies, %,it never rains, but it pours." This time (lie principils were two negro bo.vs aixl the death dealing weapon a shotgun. The account of the killing as given to us is as follows: I George Barr and Calvin Cooper, aged 12 and 17 years, respectively, were in Cooper Bros, store about sun-set. Friday evening. Barr holding a shotgun in ins hands. The two boys were talking apparently in a friendly way. When they had walked out of the store, Calvin, the wider boy. said to George, 'Give me that gun." The younger boy would not obey him and Calvin seized the weapon and wrenched it out of George's hands. The by standers still thought the two boys were p playing. But when Calvin got the weapon he stepped back about ten feet and blazed away, shooting George just below the heart, the gun being loaded with No. 5 shot. The wounded boy was removed to his lathers, Jim Bart's, house and given medical attention hut the wound was mortal, and Saturday night he died. Sunday, at noon, the coroner's jury wasimpanelied and rendered the following verdict. That the deceased, Ceorge Barr, came to his death '.rom a gun-shot wound at the hands of Calvin Cooper. Cooper, although young, has a hid reputation a..d has already figured in several more less serious encounter?, (ie has been brought up to jail and his case will probably coine up at the next term o 1 court.
