LOSES LEG AND MAY DIE.
Clarence Rucker Shot by Barnie
Reeder-Difficulty Near Swansea.

Lexington, May 12.-Clarence
Rucker, perhaps the largest cotton
farmer in Lexington county, lies at
his home, near Swansea, desperately
wounded, and Barnie Reeder is
languishing behind the bars of the
Lexington Jail, the result of fish
ing party row at Moore's pond,
about six miles below Swansea, the
difficulty having occurred at an early
hour this morning. Both parties are
reticent in talking about the diff
Guilty, and information is hard to OBJ
tain.
1t is understood that whiskey play
ed an important part in the tragedy.
1t is claimed that Rucker had carried
a gallon of cider to the party and it
was over this that the shooting took
place. It is said that Rucker fred
his pistol four times, but with what
intention cannot be said. Reeder
went to his buggy, followed by Ruck-
er, and tussle ensued, it being
claimed by Reeder that Rucker snap
ped his pistol in his face, and also
struck him with his hand. Reeder
then, it is claimed, fired on Rucker
with 44-calibre Winchester, the ball
causing a fearful wound in the leg.
DR.. Knowlton, of Columbia, ampu-
tated the injured limb just below the
knee this afternoon, and the latest
report from Swansea states that
Rucker is doing as we'll as could be
expected.
Rucker is man of considerable
means and prominence in the county
He is man of family. Reeder is a
young man being only about 21 years
of age, and is married. His family is
also prominently connected. The un-
fortunate difficulty is greatly deplor-
ed. Deputy Sheriff Miller was early
on the scene, but young Reeder had
already left for Lexington.
