BITTER AND SWEET
SETTLE UP THINGS.
New York, June B.—Through
attorneys for both parties, a
settlement was reached here
late this evening in the long
pending case of the Pennsyl

stood that the consideration in

AN ACCIDENT
DURING SHOOT
COL. J. E. DU BIGNON PAINFULLY
INJURTD BY EXPLOSION OF
HIS GUN.
Col. J. E. du Bignon was painfully
injured during the tournament of the
gun club yesterday afternoon, and, as
a result, this well-known Brunswick
ian may lose the use of his left hand,
though physicians last night stated
the accident may not prove as serious
as was at first thought.
The accident was one of the most
peculiar of the kind known to trap
shooters, and out of the largo numlei
of shooters present yesterday, many
of them having shot over the trapj
for years, not one could recall a sitm •
lar accident.
Colonel du Bignon, with a squad of
four others, was beginning the sev ■
enth event of the program, it ap
pears that he placed a shell tu bis
gun and called “pull." The gue did
not fire and he thought he had failed
to load the gun, but had left the shell
in the barrel which he had previously
shot. He then placed another shell
In the gun and when he fired the
gun, about three Inches from the front
of the barrel bursted. His left hand
was terribly lacerated, the art Ties
being severed.
The forearm of the gun was broken
into several pieces us was the barrel,
it is the opinion of the shooters as
well as Mr. du Bigr.on, that the first
shell placed in the gun was a defec
tive one, and when he snapped the
loaded one, without any noise or the
discharged, lodged in his gun. and nat
urally when the gun was fired with
the barrel blocked, the explosion be
ing so quick It caused the gun
to hurst.
Dr. Blanton was on the grounds anJ
he, with the shooters, did everything
possible for the Injured shooter. He
was quickly brought to the city and
was carried to Dr. Fox's office and
later to the city hospital, wlier- the
physicians held a consultation The
exact extent of the Injury wm not
known last night, but the physicl ins
stated that the hand would more than
likely be saved.
The sad accident caused genuine
sorrow among the many shooters
present, all of whom regret it very
deeply.

in which the experts are permitted to
shoot in the sweepstakes. The han
d’eap will be from 16 to 23 yards and
promises to be one of the most inter
esting events of the entire shoot.
A large number of spectators were
present during the day. especially In
the afternoon, when many of the fair
sex came out and. by their presence,
made the shooters endeavor to roll
up larger scores, especially Walter
Huff, who always does his best shoot
in r when the ladies are among the
on-lookers.
For the benefit of those who desire
to witness some of the shooting this
afternoon, it may be said that the
shoot will probably end by 3 or 4
o’clock.

-lomt Sessions of Officials and Others
The Glynn county commissioners, as
a body and quite a large delegation of
j citizens, will leave this morning on
the steamer Hessie foe Darien, where
i they go to meet with the Mclntosh
commissioners to take up jointly the
i question of good, roads in general and
• the Leisman-Georgia Coast and Pied
i unßt proposition in specific. Tlii
| plan is well known to the people of
i Brunswick and it Is as a matter of fact
one of the most far-reaching Indus
trial movements ever launched in this
section of the state.
All citizens and business men who
are interested In the proposition are
urged to make the trip and eooperato
with the commissioners for the suc
cess of the plan. Those who have
signified their intention of going over
are the following members of the
hoard of county commissioners and
citizens generally: Messrs. J. B.
Wright, W. R. Townsend, J. J. Ism,
V. Miller, J. A. Foster, R. L. RatclifT.

That the success of the tdp 1s prob
able Is best evidenced by the fact that
the grand Jury of Mclntosh county,
just adjourned, took occasion to treat
the matter and In the following reso
lution, which was unanimously adopt
’d. recommended a bond issue In the
sum of forty thousand dollars for the
purpose of building the line:
"We recommend that our county
commissioners take steps to meet with:
the coiint.v commissioners of Glynn to
discuss flic proposition which has been ;
made 4o toe two counties by Mr. F. J.
Lisnian'. president of the G. C. & P.}
R. R., looking to a through wagon- j
road being opened between the two j
counties by means of bridges across j
the Altamaha river, to be used jointly j
with the railroad. If the plan which ,
has been put before the grand jury
is approved we then request our com- j
missiouers to take such action which ;
will place the proposition before the,
people to vote on the issuance of S4O,- j
000 of bonds. The grand jury approves j
of the plan as submitted by the Geor- j
gia Coast and Piedmont railroad; this
step would insure a direct road j
through this cqpntv from the north to j
Florida. This recommendation is j
made with the distinct understanding !
that the two counties are made abso- I
lutely secure by a first mortgage on '
the railroad from Darien to Bruns- j
w ick, to secure the bond issue of S4O.- j
000. This to be a joint bond to the j
two counties for the amount of bonds j
issued."
