George Kent Shot As He Tries to Drive Off Thieves, Jan. 29, 1922

Shot in Leg As He Routs Prowlers

George Kent, negro, is in the Good Samaritan hospital with a bullet in the calf of his leg as the result of a shooting affair Sunday night at Eleventh street and the A.T. & O. Railroad tracks.

He said some boys were stealing coal in a yard near that place, and he attempted to drive them away when one of them shot at and hit him. Dr. W.A. McPhaul, city health officer, dressed the man’s wound and sent him to the hospital for further treatment.
