Show A Fatal Scare. Sunday, while a young man, aged 17, and his mother, named Peters, residing 10 miles east of Macon, were on their way to church, they overtook Miss Maggie Mag-gie Pierce, aged 16, who was also going to church. When Miss Pierce heard them coming, she stepped to one side of the road. As Peters and his mother passed she jumped out to scare them. Young Peters drew his revolver and fired at the young woman. The ball took effect in her head on the side of her nose. Her wound is considered fatal. The boy asserted that he fired before he knew who Miss Pierce was. Macon (Mo.) Dispatch. |
