fJINK'' TUCKER SERIOUSLY
SHOT IN SPRUANCE CITY
REVOLVER ACCIDENTLY WENT
OFF IN CHARLIE HElTE'S HAND
Tucker Was Hastened to the Home

Thursday evening about seven
O'Clock Edward Tucker, better
known as "Jink" Tucker was shot
and seriously wounded in the stom
ach by the accidental discharge of
revolver in the hands of Charles
Heite, an old soldier 67 years of
age. Tucker was Immediately taken
to the Homeopathic Hospital, Will

was summoned on the case. Heite
was placed under arrest by Consta-
BILE Goldsbobrough the next day and
committed to Dover Jail without
bail to await the. result of Tucker s
injuries, 1t appears that Heite,
who lives in a little one-rOom cabin
in Spruance City, was celebrating
the receipt of his pension check by
entertaining a crowd of his friends.
They ate and drank merrily until
they were under the influence. 1t
was then that Heite got out his old
revolver to show the crowd. "Jink'
Tucker seeing the weapon shouted
"Put it up!' The latter threw his
hand back of him to keep Tucker
from getting it and in so doing il
accidentally discharged, the bulle
entering fuckers right side JUS
above the groin and striking thu
pelvic bone. DIR. Roth was at once
summoned and seeing his patient
condition hastened him a soon a
possible to the Homeopathic Hos
pital, Wilmington. Several X-ra..
tests were made to locate the bulle
but without avail. fuckers condi
ticn at this writing is favorable wit
chances that he will recover. Muc
sympathy is expressed for Heite, tn
aged veteran. He ha always born
good reputation as peaceable, law
abiding citizen. He lives alone an
depends solely upon his pension.
