Norvell HUSKEY Killed.

Firmen PARKER while out hunting, Saturday afternoon. The unfortunate man was conveyed to his
home. Dr. MOCKBEE was hurried to his
relief in an automobile, but the sufferer succumbed in about an hour. The load of shot aimed at a rabbit was
discharged into the man’s side, as PARKER was swinging his gun into position
for a shot at the fleeing rabbit. His
chum from whose hand the fatal shot was fired is nearly beside himself over the
tragedy, but was entirely exonerated by the Coroner’s verdict. A hair trigger on a shot gun pointed in the
wrong direction touched by a twig or sprung by the jar of quickly throwing the
gun into position, is the only possible explanation as to how it happened.
