Went to Work Too Early;
Employer Thought He
Was Burglar
*—
(Roanoke Beacon)
Repeated robberies of his store in
the Pleasant Grove community has the
trigger finger of J. C. Tarkenton itch
ing—and Charlie Bailey the shoot
ing ability of Mr. Tarkenton to thank
that he is no worse injured than he
is today.
Mr. Bailey was engaged as a me
chanic to repair a tractor that was
at the rear of the Tarkenton store.
So many business matters crowded his
mind that Mr. Tarkenton forgot he
had .employed Mr. Bailey to begin
work on the tractor early Saturday

Taking steady aim, he emptied a load j
of shot into the legs of Bailey, who]
yelled at the top of his voice.
Recognizing the voice as that of
Mr. Bailey, Mr. Tarkenton ran to his,
aid. It was the intention of Mr. Tar-!

probably saved the life of Mr. Bailey.
It all came about through neither
knowing the circumstances of the oth-

press of matters when he had retired
forgot that he had engaged Mr. Bailey
for the tractor work.
