Unfortunate Shooting.

On last Saturday afternoon an unfor'
tunate shooting took place at RichIands.
King Crockett. a young man about 20
years old, was shot by Charles Capp, SER
geant of the town of Richlands. 1t seems
that Crockett and his two companions had
been fishing in the river near the town
and hadbeen reported as using dynamite to
kill the fish. warrant had been placed
in the hands of Clapp for their arrest and
he had made the arrest.
After the arrest had been made Crockett
and his companions attempted to make
their escape and Clapp fired on them with
his pistol. One ball struck Crockett,
passing through bis body. He was taken
by the evening train to Bluefied where a
surgical operation was performed. 1t was
found hat his intestines had been cut IN
several places by the bullet, making very
dangerous but not necessarily, fatal
wound.

are to the effect That the chances are favor
able TO tue young mans recovery. 1ester'
day his physicians we're more hopeful than
at any time since he was taken to Blue
field.
Mr.. Crockett is the youngest son OF the
late DR.. Charles Crockett and a nephew
of DR.. J. H. Crockett, of TazeNell.
Immediately after the shooting Sergeant
Clapp became alarmed for his safety and
went into hiding. This has prevented
his arrest. We learn, however, that 1t is
his purpose to surrender to the county
authorities as soon as he is satisfied that
excitement over the matter has sufficiently
subslded.
The affair is very unfortunate one in
all it's surroundings, and We hope that MIR.
Crockett will not die from the wound. We
do not undertake to give facts about the
case as there have been conflicting re-
ports.
