Lumberton—Mrs. George Singletary, her three year old child,
and Charlie Edwards are in the hospital seriously injured as the result of gun
shot wounds received while riding in an automobile on the public road four
miles east of Lumberton.
Mrs. Singletary was struck by two bullets, the child by one

It is alleged that Mrs. Singletary’s husband, who was riding
in the rear seat with the wounded three, fired the shots in a fit of jealousy.

Whiskey Sale Blamed
for Shooting
Asheville—The alleged shooting of Lee Buckner by Monroe
Hensley in Weaverville is now being attributed, according to reports, to a
quarrel over the proceeds from the sale of 24 gallons of whiskey which the two
men are said to have procured in Yancey county.
It is rumored that Hensley did most of the selling and that
Buckner went to his home for a settlement. It is supposed that during a
controversy arising over the division of the profits Buckner was shot.
