The weapon used was a shotgun. .Mr. Cloninger received the whole load of No. 4 shot in both legs. He was also shot In the hands, in two or three places. The wounds, while painful, are nothing but flesh wounds, and no serious complications are expected. Mr. Cloninger was out tracking a fox on his place when he heard the ncg.'oes and their dogs t running rabbits." He approached them and spoke warningly to them about running over his fields and shooting birds. He told them be did not mind their killing rabbits if they did not bother his boxes. ' One of the negroes "sussed" him, according to Mr. Cloninger's version. One word led to another and Mr. Cloninger, who had his gun with him. shot one of the negroes' dogs. Another negro who was in the party, and whom Mr. Cloninger had not seen, promptly emptied one barrel of his gun into Mr. Cloninger. Fortunately, he received the load below the waist. Ho walked some 50 or 75 yards after being shot and was alone nearly an hour before relief came. He was brought immediately to the hospital where his wounds were dressed. The nearo was captured shortly by Sheriff lthyne and Deputy Petty, and lodged in the Gaston c. nty jail. Mr. Cloninger is 75 years old, and this is the first time in his life I19 has required the services of a physician. He says he never took a dose of medicine in his life.
