Three Are Wounded in Shooting
SCrape on West Fork

is minus a hand; Thurman Duff
field has a serious wound in his
right wrist that may result in the
loss of a hand, and Scott Dulfield
with a wound in the shoulder,
are the most serious results of a
shooting affair which took place
at the residence of the Sampson
woman on Walker, a short dis
lance from Minnora, Sunday
night and Monday morning.
From the best reports we can
obtain it appears that Scott DUFF
field went to the home of the
Sampson woman, which place
bears rather a Shady reputa-
tation. AS he entered the
door the Sampson woman
opened fire on him with an old
mountain rifle, the ball striking
him in the shoulder and being
DETECTED. infiicting only a flesh
wound. An exaggerated report
of the affair was telephoned to
Mr.. Dufiield's mother, who called
up her younger son, Thurman,
and asked him to go over to the
scene of the trouble and bring
home Scott, whom, from the re-
ports she had received thought
fatally wounded. Thurman went
over to the place where the first
shooting occurred and brought
Scott home with him.
Shortly after their return to
the Dufield home, Okey Jarvis,
a constable of this county, sum
moned Thurman DUffield and 9TH
ers to accompany him to the
home of the woman for the pur-
pose of arresting her. Upon ar
irving at the house the Sampson
woman, with her husband and
two McCumbers women who
were staying there, put up a stiff
fight, and during the melee
Thurman DufieId, in attempting
to save one Of his companions
from being struck with shot
gun in the hands of the Sampson
woman, was terribly shot in the
arm. When he threw up his arm
to ward off the blow, the gun
was discharged and the full load
Of shot entered his arm at the
wrist, completely shattering one
of the bones OF the wrist and
passing on and lodging in the
shoulder.
This broke up the battle for
the night, but when mornin came
another posse was organized and
went over. They had hardly
reached the house when Samp-
son, the usband of the woman,
opened fire on them with a shot
gun and a veritable pitched bat
tie ensued, in which it is said
that eleven shots were fired, and
during which the Sampson wom-
an received a charge of shot in
the hand that so wounded her
that the member had to be am
putated at the wrist.
The women were taken before
Justice Hopkins and held over to
await the action of the grand
jury and Sampson has sent word
to the officials that he will be in
to give himself up today WED
nesday.
The latest report from the
wounded is that Scott Duhield
and the Sampson woman are set
ting along very well, but Thur
man is suffering intense pain and
there is some danger that his
hand may have to be amputated.

Allen Again Attempts TO Escape

Harry Allen, who has been in
limbo for over a year on a charge
of breaking into the Minnora
store, made his second attempt
to escape from the Jail at this
place Monday night about eleven
O'Clock. At that time the atten-
ton of B. G. Stump, who was
standing on the street, was at
tracted by cries of distress from
the Jail building. Mr.. Stump
and others Immediately hurried
to the Jail and found Allen with
his head and shoulders sticking
out of a small hole in the bars of
the upper window. There he
stuck, unable to get out farther
or to get back into his cell.
When the crowd arrived he in
formed them pitiously that he
was about choked and asked
them to hurry up in their work
of releasing him. Guy Bailey,
the local blacksmith, was routed
out of bed and armed with his
sledges, chiseIs and hack-saws
made his way to the jail where
he soon eXtricated Allen from his
uncomfortable if not dangerous
position. Allen was then locked
in another cell and no doubt the
sheriff will take steps that will
render future attempts to escape
futile.
The hole that Allen had sue
ceeded in making in the iron bars
which cover the windows was
only about 6 by 9 inches in size,
and that he attempted to crawi
through such a small space is
hard TO believe. Sheriff Knots
discovered last Thursday tbat
Allen was working on the win
dow. The latter had secured
timbers from the window sill and
had the bars apart several inches.
Then in some manner, while
some plumbing was being done
about the jail, he had secured a
portion of the blade of a hack
saw with which he finished max
ing a hole about 6x9 inches
through which he attempted to
crawl with the results stated
above.
Allen has given the authorities
lots of trouble. having attempt
ed to burn and break Jail here
once before. He also attempted
to escape from the Wood county
Jail where he had been transferr-
ed for safe-keeping. At the last
term of Court he made default in
his bond and did not appear for
trial. Allen is getting to be quite
a nuisance and no doubt at the
next term of Court he will be
sent up where breaking stones is
substituted for breaking bars.
