While Returning from a Visit Neighbors in Country. N. C., Nov. H).- Last! 11 o’clock Miss Bethania j ! Ashby, a popular . nd well-known 1 I young lady of this city, was shot and seriously wounded an i her physicians cannot tell what the result may be. The shooting occurred one mile west i of here on the LAw Gap road in a !a-.tiso woods, near what is known as ; Old Hollow church, a locality which | has furnished much criminal history , in ri’ past few years. Misses Ashby and •Minnie Burke, i accompanied by Mr. Jack Turin”’ | were driven out to the home of Mr ; B. M. McGee, who lives two miles from here, and it was while return- j fnti to tin* city that the cowardly crime was committed. The young peoplr. were in a buggy and while ^ coming through the woods saw just in front of them a man crouching by the roadside. Just as the vehicle came un with the man he sprang up j and tried to grasp the lines, but Mr. i Turner quickly anticipated his inten- ( tion and dealt him a blow with his - fist which staggered the attacking i party. The hors > was urged forward \ at this juncture and the man in (he road opened fire on the occupants of the buggy. When about fifty yards j from the man Miss Ashby exclaimed that she was shot. She was driven i rapidly to her home in this city. A physical! was summoned and ; found that a forty-four calibre ball | had <uitered her shoulder, glancing j upward and coming out of iter neck J under the chin. The lilt e finger of i the h*ft hand was also shot off. She! had sustained the shock- wonderfully and was the least excited of the trio. The sheriff and a posseo of men ••''mt immediately ‘o the sc ne of the shoot ine and an investigation resulted in the arrest this morning of Elmer! Brim, a well known man of this | ’dace. When he was brought, into town in the custody of the sheriff feeling ran high and ta’k of lvnchin° was indulged in bv some of the more excited citizens. He was given a trial before a magistrate this even ing and while the evidence was most ly of a circumstantial nature the court remamb'd him to Dobson ' *il without bail. A large crowd sa'w the prisoner off to jail and the - sheriff sent an extra guard for his protection. At x o’clock tonight tin* wounded young lady is doing well and if no complications set in she will recover. The wound ed young lady is tit * eldest daug. ;'*r of the late Joseph Ashby, and a neiee of Mayor B. f\ Sparger. The young man charged with the shoot- itu' is a son of T. L.
