The boy was terrible excited when he reached town and his story of the affair' was not comlcte, nor coherent. The popular supposition amine those who have heard the details, of the sljooting, is that it was a cas? of "did not know it was loaded." First word of the tragedy reached Bandon about 5:30 'this afternoon, when a neighbor of the Neathery's telephoned to Fred Colgrove here that the littlo girl had been shot and asked him to find Mr. Neathery, who liad come to town yesterday. Five minutes later Mr- Neathery was on 'lis way homo by auto. The boy reached town about six o'clock.
