TO KILL DY ER - Ashe vi He Contractor Shot and -Seriously Wounded by t" A. M. Throssel. Attack was Made Last EveD Sear - Ola : Winyah Sauitarium. THREE SHOTS TOOK EFFECT IN HIS BODY MOOSTXiiS AGO AND iUl HTiAaVTKT) FOB, THE BS- TRAjNGEMENT, SUINO HIM FOR $20,000.. Maddened by an outburst of the jeal ousy which he had harbored in his breast for months, A. M. Throssel yes- !terday afternoon, attacked James E. ' Joyner with a revolver, inflicting- three wounds, two of which are dangerous and may prove fatal. The encounter took place about 5:30 o'clock at the corner of Pine and Baird streets, near the old Winyah sanita rium. The story told by Mr. Joyner Is as follows: "I have been. doing" some work in the neighborhood in which the shooting oc- fcurred, and have been keeping my 'horse 4n Dr. Porter's stable. I was ! working in the- city yesterday aiter- 1 noon, and af ter finishing for the day I J started to the stable to get my horse, intending to go home. I met Throssel and was passing 'by him, when he pullr ed out a pistol and fired at me. I turn- 1 ed and grappled with him, and as I did J'sq I think I picked up a brickbat. I j think two shots must have taken effect 2 'in .my side before i got hold of him. ' Just as 'I caught him he fired again, the. 1 twt,' flrraine mv breast. I took the' revolver, which' was then empty, .away I from him, and threw it away; tten, 1 i tlcpugiit anJ aftempt" to draw another Z V&stdi, 1 tried to trip "him. At-this time 73ar. Prialeau a'nd youriy Holmes came J 'up, and I released Throssel. They took Jhim and started towards town. When they had gone a short distance I . saw Throssel Jerk loose from them and pick .llrm thP Tkistril. He broke it. and I saw that he was loading it. I 'then picked up a rock and threw it at him. He fired at me again, the shot taking effect in the leg. They took him on, and I walked to Hillside cottage, not far away, where my -wounds -were attended to.. ' : : ... .. Throsser brought a civil action against me for 20,000 damajre some time ago, which was returnable- My 27. There was no courtat th4tv,tim'e, and the suit was not renewedy so far as I am aware. Throssel's wire has been gone about three months. I h.ad noth ing to do with her going although I suppose he blames me for it." . Mr. Joyner was attended at Hillside cottage by Drs. Weaver, Purefoy, Mc- iBrayer'Powell and iDrake.
