DANGEROUS WOUND
Henry Orr Captured by Sheriff Drake
and Deputy Case After all Night
Chase

A shooting scrape took place at the
Smith place in Bowman's Bluff sections
Monday night about Z o'clock when
Henry Orr shot and seriously wounded
Henry Canton The affair is said to
have been the result of a long standing
quarrel. Orr made desperate ef-
forts to escape but was captured
about seen miles North East of Bre-
ard Tuesday morning about day break
by Sheriff Drake and deputy Allard
Case.
The officers were notified by tele-
phone message and were soon on the
scene in an automobile. They had
difficulty at first of tracing the fugitive
but later found where he had passed
Etowah station and all night search
resulted in finding Orr in house above
Brevard. When found he had in his
possession a high poyered rifle, but OF
being arrested made no resistance. He
hac, been released on bail.
The latest reports from the wounded
man who was shot in the thigh state
that he has a very dangerous wound

ARE PLEASED
TICKET R9R THE COUNTY SUG-
GESTED LAST WEEK MEETS
FAVORABLE COMMENT.
REPUBLICANS DlSPLEASED
1t is Said That With the Right Coop
Grafton Democrats Can Win En-
tire County Ticket.

The Democratic county ticket sug-
gested in last weeks Hustler has
brought forth considerable comment
from the leading Democrats of the
county. While some are in favor not
putting out a full ticket, others are
high in their praise for the entire
ticket mentioned last week.
Still others have suggested new
names for the various offices, stating
that they feel sure tnat If nominated
that they could be elected.
The concensus of opinion among
many OF the leaders is that if the
Democrats for Henderson county gel
OUT and do real campaign work there
is a strong probability of electing the
entire ticket.
1t is argued that a number of the
Republicans of the county are not sat
isfed with everything that has been
done by their own party in as much
as a great many of the affairs of the
county have been dictated by only d
few in the interest of like number.
Robert e. L. Freeman, of Bear Wal
low, has been suggested for the legis-
lature and w. F. Pryor, of Bat Cave, is
talked of for county tax collector.
