MAN RUNS AMUCK
And Shoot ? Cotton Mill Mun and
Lady at Walhalla
Walhulla, June 9.? Roy Clark, su
perintendent of the Kenneth cotton
mills, and Miss Marguerite Brennecke
book ee per, were both wounded here
this afternoon by pistol !>hoi* fired
by James Morton, who had been dis
charged .om? two hours before by
Mr. Clark for reporting for duty as
night watchman in alleged drunken
condition.
:>- Leaving the mill after t* ing dis
charged, he came back with a pistol
and enured the mill- office, where
, Brc-nnecke, Mr. i lark and W. K.
Strirvgtr <.f Andereon, president of the
mil!, were. No attention was paid to
? the fact that ht- wa* in possession of
The rur. cnt was furnished him by
the mill authorities in the discharge
of b'i(t duty and the officials thought
fte *as returning the weapon.
Without a word Morton began fir
? Dig. one bullet striking Miss H ren
net ke in the hand, another went
through the right arm of Mr. Clark
and inflicted a flesh wound in the
stomach. Quick work by Mr. Stringer
in grabbing Morton and securing the
pistol from him probably prevented
further shooting.
Physicians were summoned and
medical aid given. While the wounds
are painful neither . Miss Hrennecke
nor Mr. Clark is thought to be se
riously injured and both are expected
to bo out again within a few days.
Morton was arrested just after the
affair and i.s now lodged in the county
jail.
Couldn't Stand Still
While in the Wilksburfc section ?if
the county Sunday Sheriff ?). <i.
Ifowze and deputies were riding along
in their Ford they saw a negro ap
proaching. The negro also saw the
officers approaching and by in*; the
proud possessor of a pistol, which he
was carrying ;ilong with him for
company, he could not resisi the
temptation to take leg bail.
The negro made a dash up a steep
embank muit and reaching the top the
dirt gave away and down he came
with the result, that ho broke his leg,
between Ihe ankle and knee. His
mode of locomotion being out of re
pair there was nothinjr for h?m to do
hut ''pit steady" until the officers
walked up and giving him the onee
ovtr they found the pistol. The ne
gro is named Yryor Bailey and was
brought to Chester and given medical
i.ttentfun. -Chester New".
