ANOTHER ACCOUNT

Whitewright, Tex., Feb. 9.--Yesterday Rome Roberts shot at a hawk on his yard fence with a winchester rifle. The bullet missed the hawk and penetrated the left thigh of George Marshall, who was at work in his field one mile distant. Mr. Roberts came to town and carried out a physician to extricate the ball. Mr. Marshall's wound is quite painful, but not serious.
