Gastonia. .March 21.—A serious
shooting affair took place at the home
of Spake Elmore on East Franklin ave
nue, about 9;o0 o’clock last night when
Mr. George .lenkiiis, a prominent
liveryman, was the target for a load
of shot fired l)y Elmore, who claims
that he tnis'iook .lenkins for a burglar.
The load of shot took effect in the
lower righi: side and -Mr. .fenkins lies
in a local hospital in a very serious
condition.
According to the claims of Mr. .Ten
kinS and u coini)anion. .Jolin Thomas,
the two had driven to Mr. Eimore's
home to get i-xnne chickens, for w'hich
they had bargained with Si)ake El
more’s father yesterday afternoon.

turning from a tri]> they had stopped
at the house to get the chickens. ,Ien-

Jenkins was able to stumble dov\'n the
steps and Mr. Thomas lifted him into

burglar, he fired, with the almost fatal
affect noted above.
