Spencer, Oct. 17—Lewis Walton, a member of the grocery firm of A.L. Walton & Son, doing business on the national highway on the eastern limits of Spencer and well known about town, is in the Salisbury hospital with dangerous stab in the left breast, and a young man named Gore is at his home in Salisbury with bad cuts in the body, as a result of a disagreement at a barbecue given Tuesday night at Riverside Park on the Yadkin River, near town, when it is said a free-for-all scrap followed.
While no one is willing to make a public statement, it is said that a number of young men attending the barbecue fell out over a trivial matter and attempted to have it out personally. In the melee it is said an unknown person stabbed Mr. Walton in the breast, but it is not known whether the same man cut Mr. Goore. It is thought both will recover.
