Danvillc, Va, December 2S.-An eX-
traordinary case OF neglect is reported
from Biount Cross, a small village a
few miles from here. On Sunday even
ing negro, Elijah Christian, shot n
white man named Will Mays as the
result OF n quarrel. Mays WAS shot
in the abdomen and was carried TO n
friends house nearby. Since that
time no physician has been to see the
wounded man. and he remains just as
he was, with about fifty shots in his
abdomen and about forty others in his
groin Doctors were summoned from
here and from that neighborhood. but
they were not able TO attend to him.
Mays was a very poor man, but friends
guaranteed to pay for any services
rendered and also for his hospital
charges IL brought to this city. Owing
to the fact that no doctor has seen
Mays, no one has cared to take the
responsibility OF bringing the wounded
man over the rough roads here for
fear he should die while en- route, so
he still lies in bed, with few friends
caring for him.
