OF TJBV'RLE ACCIDEM
i |
j Laurens Herald.
j Oscar L. Lanford, a well Known i
: citizen and merchant of Lanford Sta- j
: tion, was mortally wounded Tuesday!
morning shortly after four o'clock 111 j
his home town near the depot, thej
fatal shot being fired, it is supposed,
by his aged father, Capt. John "W.
Lanford, through a terrible mistake.
Capt. Lanford was himself slightly
! wounded, either by his son after he1
j fell or by an unknown party. Oscar i
! Lanford lived more than an "hour and !
! was conscious for a while, it is stated, j
j A physician from Enoree was secured, |
' but Mr. Lanford expired scon after j
i the arrival of the doctor. Dr Vin- !
I cent of Laurens was called and reach-!
' ed the srene shortly after the Enoree i
j doctor came.
The tragedy followed confusion ;
; among Capt. Lanford, Oscar Lanford j
j and J. L. Fleming, a son-in-law of!
; the elder Lanford, who had gone to j
j the railway station for the purpose of.
; apprehending a burglar reported from :
j Ora to be headed toward Lanford,
! after robbing tiie residence 01 w. i.j
I Blakely at Ora and the office of Dr. i
R. H. Bryson at Bryson. Mr. Blake- i
ly call.d Mr. Higgins, at Lanford on!
the phone, and told hfm of the rob- !
! bery. Mr. Higgins notified the Messrs. <
; Lanford and they with Mr. FUmming :
j went at once to the station, which;
j is located near the stores of the town.
; The Messrs. Lanford took a position 1
j at* the west corner of the depot while j
Mr. Fleming stood over at the other'
j end of the building, next the rail- j
road. After watching a little while;
a pjrson was seen approaching from ;
the south side of the town, carrying j
a flashlight. He stopped at the Drum-:
mond store and walked around the:
' building once or twice, continuing to 1
j use * the flashlight at short intervals. J
He then, it appears, moved across to- j
1 ward the depot, when Oscar Lanford,
j who had evidently stepped in ahead !
| of his father, keeping close to the:
j station platform, suddenly moved out?
f toward the road, putting himself in!
I line betwen Capt. Lanford and the j
! approaching figure with jthe flasn- J

shooting several times, it is said, wltn I
the supposed robber as the target, asj
I they thought. Oscar Lanford was j
! shot in the back but he managed to j
get back to the platform where he col
< lapsed. In the confusion Capt. Lan-!
! ford received a wound in the back i
: of the leg near the thigh, the bullet [
! ranging upward, making its exit be- j
} low the waist line, inflicting only a ;
! slight wound. The supposed robber !
; may have taken a hand in the^shoot- j
i ing, as Mr. Hammett who rooms over j
! the Lanford store, is quoted as saying '
that he saw shot flasties from tne 10
; cality of the person carrying the
\ flashlight. As to this point it may

fired one time in the direction of the
approaching figure, but his gun fail
ed to work any more, and h? went to
the assistance of Oscar. It was a
dark, cloudy night and only the out
lines of a person could be seen by
any of the party when they became
separated, which fact explains the
cuniuaiou aim us ueujurauit; result. i
After the robbery at Ora Mr. Blake-1
ly notified the Laurens authorities,
and shortly after 3 o'clock Deputy
I Sheriff Owings and Rural Policeman
Owens left for Ora and Lanford,
reaching the latter place about twenty
minutes after the shooting. Officer
Owens drove to Enoree and got a phy
sician, ^and then with the deputy; pro
ceeded on the trail of the burglar,
who had fled toward Spartanburg.
Upon reaching IWVxxiruff the of
ficers were informed that Chief of j
Police J. W. Kellett had arrested a,
; stranger at the station just as he j
was about to board a north bound1
train. As the man could give no
account of himself lie was brought j
to the Laurens jail and is held as a ;
suspect. He refused to talk. On i
his person were found a flashlight, j
a razor, a gold band ring, which has ;
been identified as -the property of I
Mr. Blakely. and a bunch of skele- j
ton k'ys. He appeared greatly fa- ;
