Representative J. R. 111?i 1?* was
out' of the principals in an exciting
shooting affray at his store
near the Catawba dam Saturday
- ? ... _
aiieriioon. several volleys ot shots j
were fired at close range by Mr.
Haile and his antagonist, Joe
1*01)0, while, and it seems a miracle
that neither was injured
Pope had been working on Mr.
fiaile's farm, but recently had
neglected his work and was called
upon by Air. Haile to account for
his action. A few words were
passed, but Mr. Haile, thinking
the matter closed, turned to walk <
away, whereupon Pope pulled his
revolver and began tiring. Mr. ,
Haile rushed into his store, and, .
securing his revolver, returned to J the
yard only to find that Pope j
had taken refuse in a house item by. {
The firing began anew when Pope ]
slightly opened the do< r and ugain
drew liis weapon. The tiring con- 1
tinned for several minutes, until 1
Pope exhausted his supply of ammunition
and escaped through the
bark door to the thickets.
