A WAYNESVILLE SHOOTING
1T OCCURRED ON LAST SAT,
URDAY NIGHT.

Harry Davidson of Charlotte Fires
Three shots at "Bnd" POindex-
ter-The wounded Man Will
Probably Recover.
A telegram from Waynesyile to the
Charlotte Chronicle, under date of Au.
gust "a, gives the following particul irs
ofthe shooting a fair which occurred there
Saturday night.
Saturday night while Harrison David
son and his friend Bailey were standing
in the door of the Waynesville drug store,
Bud Poindexter in company with his
friend, J. K. Love, walked up to David
son and asked him why it was he had
been threatening to shoot the boys
around Wayncsvile. Davidson drew his
revolver. AS the weapon was drawn
Poindexter struck him in the face and
Immediately the pistol fired, the bullet
striking Poindexter in the breast and
breaking the skin. Poindexter fell, when
another ball was fired. entering his left
side one inch. Poindexter made an effort
to get behind the counter of the drug
store when another shot was fired, strik
ing his pocket, but was turned from any
serious damage by book which he had
in his pocket.
Davidson was arrested by the marshal
and held for a few hours until the vic
TINS wounds were examined by DR..
Allen, and pronounced not dangerous,
upon which he was bound over until to-
days court i'll bond of $500. The hour
arrived this msrning and the mayor
asked DR.. Allen to make report as to
Poindexter's condition. DR.. Allen stated
that the greatest danger would be blood
poison. As yet he could not ioresce the
result, but the tendency was not so good.
Mayor Lee upon this, continued the
case to the regular term OF court, which
meets in September, and required David
son to give bond from day to day for
the sum OF $1,000 until he could communi-
cate with his friends and make regular
bond
Davidson and Bailey have been stopping
at Or. Rogers in this place for several
weeks. Poindexter is an engineer on the
Richmond & Danville railroad, and was
at home on short visit. He says he
never saw Davidson before that night,
The trouble seems to have arisen from a
dance which took place Friday night
The Courier learns that j. K. Love had
taken "A young lady to the dance, and
Davidson got ahead of him and escorted
the girl home. Love being angry, made
some remarks as to Dayidsou's behavior
and the latter proposed they should step
aside and settle the matter with pistols
The proposition was not accepted and
no more was said OF it until Saturday
nigh. when Poindexter, in COMPANY
with Love, asked Davidson about the
| matter.
