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.

Friday night, Oetooer 12, lor
