Johnson Bored Through By Bullets. Gus Johnson, a negro painter well known about town, died Sunday- morning from the effect of several Idstol wounds received two nights be fore, one of the bullets Btrtklng him In the abdomen and passing entirety through his body, coming out near the vertebrae. How Johnson managed to get home after being shot Is surprising to those who saw the wounds. Johnson has been here quite a long while, doing painting and odd Jobe. The story of tho shooting was not generally known until the negro died. Johnson's story of the affair was to the effect that he was shot Friday night by unknown parties as he was "going home from the lodge." Another story of the affair, and that which seems to he generally ac cepted. Is of altogether different na ture. At all events It was a line shot and Johnson reaped a harvest of lead that time.
