SHOT MAY PROVE FATAL.
Sheriff R. W. Bandy spent Thurs
day in Bird township near the scene
of the shooting related in the last is
sue of the Independent. Sharp, the
most seriously injured of the two men
shot by \V. B. O. Renfro, is hardly ex
pected to recover from his wounds,
as his condition remains very critical.
The shooting occurred Wednesday
morning, but the facts whic h led up
to the same have not been disclosed,
as the prisoner is wise enough to
maintain silence. He however claims
that James McDaniel, whose life he
sought to take, had shot at him the
night before when he was on his way
home.
Maud Sharp and James McDaniel
met in front of the Renfro house
Wednesday morning, when the last
named appeared upon the scene with
a single barrelled shotgun. Mc
Daniel got behind Sharp and Renfro
ordered the latter to get out of the
way, but pulled the gun up and fired
before Sharp had time.
Nearly the entire load took effect
in Sharp’s chest, only a few shots
striking McDaniel, whose injuries are
trivial compared with those of the
former. Constable Henry Bearden
took Renfro in charge and he now
rests in the county jail as previously
stated.
