Shot In the Back.
Rock Hill Herald: Amos Hayes,
colored man who works on Mr. II. n.
Cowans place near town, was snot py
an unknown party last Friday nlghI.
THE ball from a 3S calibre Smith &
Wesson pistol struck him in the back,
passed through the right shoulder
blade and lodged in the big muscles
in the shoulder. DR.. ]. E. Massey, Jr:,
was called and he probed for the ball,
but did not take 1t out, as to DO SO
would have necessitated considerable
cutting. Lodged as it is 1t will do no
harm. Hayes says he was shot by
some unknown white men while he was
passing along the highway just beyond
the Highland Park mill, but the facts
seem to be that he was shot while III
the woods with two white men and an
other Negro man playing cards. Our
information is that when the gamblers
were about to be caught by white
man, they blew out the lamp they were
using and opened fire on the intruder,
and when all had become quiet, Hayes
struck a match to relight the lamp,
when the intruder. VINO had been hug
ging the ground, took creek at Hayes,
with the result as indicated above.
The wounded man will recover, but he
is now in bed.
