Charlie Curlee Thought His Brother Thomas Was a Turkey and Fired ou Him, Killing Him Instantly They Were Hunting at the Time Both Hen Married Upper Anson was the scene of a most distressing accident early Monday morn- lntr. Messrs. 1 nomas and Charles Uurlee, sons of Mr. Davidson Cnrlee, lived be tween Richardson creek and Rocky river. in Burnsville township.

This section of the county is heavily wooded and very hilly and wild turkeys are plentiful. The Cnrlee brothers frtquently hunted the turkeys and were usually successful in bagging one or more on each expedition. Just before day Monday the brothers, in company with Mr." Wm. Thomas, bade their wives and children good-bye and proceeded to the woods in -quest of their fi vonte game. After reaching tne wooas the party scattered.

A short time after this Charles Curlee heard what he thought was a turkey yelping. He cautiously proceeded in the direction of the sound, yelping himself as he crept along. Finally he located the yelping -behind a clump of thick pine tops and after looking intently at the tops for a short time saw them move, at the same time spying the dim outline of what be took to be the bulk of a turkey behind them. At this time it was not yet light, and Charlie Curlee quickly raised his gun and fired into the pine tops a load of shot that sent the soul of his brother Thomas into eternity. The two men had been yelping to each other and the probability is that, if Charles had not killed Thomas he wonld himself have been shot by Thomas.

The entire load of No. 4 shot took effect iu the face and neck of the unfortunate man, killing him almost instantly. It is said that he never spoke a word after he was shot. Itissupposed that the jugular vein was penetrated by one of the shot, causing death by loss of blood. Both Charles and Thomas Curlee were married and have children.

Thomas was about 30 years of age and Charles is about 25. They are goood people and the sympathy of every one goes out to the son owing brother who survives, as well as to the family of the one who met such an untimely end. PERSONALS. Mr. Fred C.
