the other. This morning Joseph Ad-
COCK sW0re out warrant Tor the ar
rest OF Mr.. Sam L. Radford, charged g.
with shooting with intent to kill. Mr..
Adcock gave to the local press repre- d
sentatives the following brief version e
OF the affair: He said that about dusk II
last evening, while riding Ieisurely p
along the public highway, and on
nearing his premises, he was fired at =
rom ambush, the bullet passing
through the lapel OF his coat. He
turned instantly to ascertain the direc-
ion OF the attack, and recognized his
Tould-be murderer as Lum Radford,
brother to Luther G. Radford No at
empt was made to intercept Mr.. Rad
ord, but Mr.. AdcOck reported the cir ~ ~
to the officers. His state n.
nent was corroborated by several 9TH
