which Jenkins nearly lost his life and
may die yet from the effect of the
wounds received, when on Sunday

yard n his wife had retired for the
night, some unknown assassin from the
front porch, fired a pistol shot through
the window at Mr.. and Mrs. Bolyard.
as they We're sleeping in bed. The ball
passed through the glass;, striking the
wall four inches over Mr.. and Mrs.
Bolyard's heads.
Mrs. Bolyard is in a serious condition
from the excitement and shock, and is
under the treatment of DR.. r. E. Bryan.
MT. Bolyard fails to understand the
reason for the shooting as he did not
know they had an enemy. Both are
considered good citizens. Mr.. Bolyard
now keeps his windows blinded every
night since the shooting has occurred
and feels unsafe to leave his home with
out being well armed.
Another shooting took place here on
May 9th near Colebank, in Preston
county, near the line OF Barbour. Ben
Jamln Bowman and wife were walking
a tby-path through the roads a short
distance from their home when a shot
was fired at Mr.. Bowman from behind
some logs, the shot taking effect IN
BoWman's neck. He fell PROSTATE to
re ground. His wife says she saw two
men run from their hiding place, but
fails to identify them. 1t was thought
at first that Bowman was fatally shot
and could not recover. DR.. Campbell
was sent for and dressed the wound
and found it not as serious as was
thought. Mr.. Bowman is likely to re-
by another shot fired from ambush by
unknown cowardly villains.
A band of outlaws have been operat-
ing along the edge Of this mountain
for some time. Their hiding places
nave been located. They are also moon
sinners and are defying the federal au-
thorities. 1t has not been long ago
since Mr.. Butler Williams had his
house and contents burned by these
cowardly moonshiners. 1t was located
not far from where the shooting has
been going on. The citizens here are
terribly alarmed over the shooting OF
those people and are demanding pro-
lection.
