caped death when an unknown per
son fired on their car.
The party had be«*n hunting and
were late getting out of the swamp.
They reached the Sanders ville high
way and increased the speed of
their car in order to reach Milled
geville as soon as po able. About a
mile before they reached Dr. O. F.

fired a pistol at the car, thje bullet
go ; ng through the glass of the right
door barely missing tr.e hack of Mr.
Riddle’s head.

shot was fired.
Mr. Pell was driving the car and
lid he
iced

came from the right. He said it was
impossible foe. anybody to have seen
who was in the car and that he did
not believe anyone knew who they
were, so any thougkjt of an attempt
on the lives of the men in the car by
some person who had planned it was
discounted. He said that he believed
that the high rate of speed that the
car was traveling saved the life of
Mr. Riddle. The glass at the door
was shattered and Mr. Nelson, sit
ting on the back seat, was showered
with glass.
The three men were at a loss in
