Man Shot and Badly
Wounded In Lunch Room
Continued from page one)

w. H. Sawyer. The shooting,
which was declared to have been
accidental occurred shortly before
six O'Clock in the Mckenzie lunch
room. The bullet from a 80 cali
ibre revolver entered the muscles
in McGovern's right hip and pene-
t1ated about six inches near the
lower part of the spine. He was
rushed to the Office of DR.. v. 3.
Fitch where he was given nrst
aid. Later he was taken to the
Fitch hospital where today it was
reported he probably will recover.
No effort has been made as yet to
remove the bullet.
The only witness to the shoot
ing was w. d. Mckenzie, proprie-
tor of the eating house. Accord
ing to Mckenzie, McGovern was
sitting at the counter eating sup
per when Sawyer, a friend of his,
came in and sat down a couple of
seats away. Suddenly, he declared
Sawyer pulled out a revolver and
tossed it onto the counter saying,
Look at this"
McGovern answered "Don't
shoot till l finish eating these
doughnuts." He had no sooner
uttered the words than Sawyer
aimed the gun at him, it is said,
and pulled the trigger. The bullet
entered McGovern's hip and ne
dropped to the floor. Aid was
quickly summoned and the wound
ed man was removed to Dr..
Fitch's office.
Sawyer went to the police sta
ton and surrendered himself to
Officer Thomas Wallace who was
on duty. After consulting State
Attorney James B. Campbell, Off
Ger Wallace decided to allow
Sawyer his liberty until an inves-
tigation is conducted into the af-
fair. Sawyer told complete
story to the police.
There was but one bullet in the
gun, examination showed. Sawyer
told Officer W; llace that he was
on his way to show the gun to a
friend and didn't know it was
loaded.
McGoveln is blacksmith and
works at the shop Of r. J. McCiU
on Railroad street. Sawyer is a
carpenter. Both men are well
