CLEVELAND.
Kings Mountain Herald, Dec. IA:
From B. o. Jenkins who was in town
today. Wednesday, we learn that Chas.
Hughes is doing fairly we'll and that
his physicians now think he will re-
cover. There was a report in circula-
ton that he was dead, but we are glad
to say this was erroneous. Mr.. Byars
who did the shooting is still in Jail at
this writing although 1t was expected
that he would give bond on yesterday.
For some reason the necessary certi-
ficate by his physician has not been
given, but Mr. Jenkins thinks that will
be done today. This is the cause of
the delay and not because he can't
find a bondsman. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawson Howell have moved from Beth
any, S. c., to their new home here and
we are glad to welcome them to the
Ihospitalities of our town. On Tues
day morning of last week r. H. Car
rett was painfully hurt by falling on a
stick of wood which he was holding
under his arm. Mr.. Garrett had gone
out to his wood-pile before it was light
to get some wood, had picked up one
stick and placed 1t under his arm, then
attempting to gather another he stum-
bled over the wood and fell on the stick
under his arm. This stick having a
knot on it almost broke in some of
his ribs. However, his physician
thinks none were broken, but he suf-
fered much for several days. He is
now recovering and hopes to be out
in few days more. Sidney Barrett
who lives out near Crowder's Noun
tain In CASTOR county was shot on
last Sunday evening by his stepson and
died today, Thursday, about l o'clock.
The facts as best we can gather them
are that Mr.. Barrett married a Mrs.
Carpenter who had two sons, and that
they all lived together and that
the peace and harmony Of the family
has been much strained all the while.
These Step-sons and also Mr.. Barrett
were given to strong drink and this
fact tended to still more increase their
troubles. Sunday at noon, while both
men were touched up with whisky, they
quarrelled and young Carpenter made
for Barrett with his knife. Barrett
drew his pistol and fired at Carpenter
as he came towards him, and shot off
one of his fingers. This alteration,
however, was patched up and the mat
ter was thought to be at an end. Later
| in the day young Carpenter went off
and borrowed a shot gun and loaded
| it. cutting around the shell. He re-
turned home and found Barrett about
| 80 yards out from the house. At this
distance he fired and the load took
effect i the front part of Barretts
| thigh just below the hip. Barrett lin
gered till today and his physicians,
Drs. Garrison and Garret of Bessemer,
amputated the leg. The patient was
very weak. but ii was thought to be
the last chance to save his life. He
seemed to endure the operation very
well till the doctors were just about
done stitching the limb, when all at
