of the car
The stories told by the men differ
somewhat, il is understood, but accord
ing TO Constable Tinsman the trouble
was as follows;
The car containing Oft and lmniwell
a Ford touring car, had stopped neal
Bear Station while repairs were being
made 10 some of the machinery. 1t was
on the right hand side of the road.
Hearing the noise of an approach

stepped to the left hand side of the
road and flashed his pocket light.
Apparently thinking this was anoth-
er vehicle approaching from the Op-
posite direction, the occupants OF
the other car that is, the Bullock
boys and Dill, also kept to the right
and colided with the stalled car.
Both machines were badly damaged
and had to be towed to New Castle
for repairs.
The crash apparently angered both
parties and a fight ensued II is
claimed two men set upon OFT and
three upon Hunniwell.
OFT having escaped from his as
sailants in some way, is alleged to
have drawn his revolver and fired
II is said he intended to shoot into
the air but his revolver was either
knocked down by one OF his alleged
assailants or lowered by himself The
weapon was discharged, the bullet
hitting Harry Bullock and wounding
him seriously.
This caused the crowd to scatter
and OFT and Hunniwell left their
machines. their hats and coats and
walked fifteen miles to their homes
near Elkton.
AS soon as Constable Tinsman was
notified. he got in communication
with Sheriff McAlister. OF Cecil coun-
