Rutherfordton, April 13—Duffey Harris, who lives seven miles west of here, was shot Sunday afternoon by Robert Camp just after religious services ended at a school house. It is reported that Harris was drinking and he and Camp got into a quarrel when Harris cut Camp and the latter shot Harris in the chest twice and leg once. Harris was rushed to the Rutherford hospital and is in a critical condition at this writing. Camp gave up to the officers Monday and was placed under a $5,000 bond for his appearance at court here next month. Both are form prominent families and the horrible affair is very much regretted by the friends of both men. Camp was slightly injured with a knife.
Sheriff Beason and a number of other officers made a raid in Duncan’s Creek township recently and captured about 500 gallons of beer and one of the best copper stills ever seen in this county. A small quantity of whiskey was destroyed. One blockader was seen at a distance but made his escape.
