Shot Himself.

Mr.. E. E. Hight, Well Known
and Popular Citizen, Victim
Of Bullet Wound Inflicted By
His Own Hand-Is Getting
Along Well With Chances
of Recovery Favorable,
People on the street were startled
Friday morning by the report of a
pistol shot which proceeded from o.
0. Whites tailoring establishment
and to learn soon afterward that Mr..
E. E. Hight had shot. himself. Ply
sicians were summoned and the
wounded man was found lying on the
floor unconscious with a bullet wound
in his left breast 1t was believed at
the time that the shot was fatal and
that it was self-inficted with suicidal
intent was the first thought sug-
gested. And had the wounded man
died without regaining consciousness
this would have been the public
opinion under all the circumstances.
Mr.. Hight was formerly in the
jewelry business here and failed some
years ago. He opened again but
success did not come his way. He
sold out and engaged in the optical
business using the front part of the
store occupied by MIR. White. For
tune smiled not on him and he was
involved financially. Only recently
he had sold his home to satisfy a
mortgage on it. Considering these
things the theory Of accidental shoot
ing was not readily accepted at first
much as one might have preferred to
think otherwise. And in addition to
all this Mr.. Hight was about to
break the associations and friend
ships established through many
years OF residence and business deal
ing in Henderson. He was going to
move to Washington, N. c., and
most of his effects were packed ready
for shipping. He would succeed the
leading ieweler in that prosperous
town and the future seemed tO~hold
out much of promise, but the thought
OF leaving the friends and acquaint-
ances of a life time to 90 to
strange place among strangers was
sad to contemplating was like be-
ginning life over again.
The wounded man was removed to
his home and is getting on very we'll,
with chances of recovery if no COM
plications develop. The ball has
not been removed. MIR. Hight says
he cannot explain just. how the
shooting occurred. He was cleaning
his pistol and had removed all the
balls as he thought. These were
found on the table in front of him
together with rag, oil and other ar
ticles used for the purpose. He
thinks a cartridge must have been
left in the cylinder under the ham,
mer and in "breaking' the weapon
it fired. His friends are glad to ac-
cept this view of the unfortunate oc-
currence and wish for Mr.. Hight a
speedy recovery.
