Indian Girls Charged with Shooting Man Make Bonds. . . Released from Jail to Await Trial—Hearing Will be Given as Soon as Injured Man Can Attend Trial

Strawdy and Hester Chavis, Indian sisters who spent several days in jail here following a shooting affair at their home in Gaddy township a few weeks ago when Foster Miller, Indian, was seriously injured, are at large under $650 bonds each for their appearance in court here as soon as the injured man is able to attend trial.

Miller’s condition is reported improving. He has been a patient at the Baker sanatorium here since the shooting. He was hit in the chest and face. Strawdy Chavis has admitted that she did the shooting, but claims self-defense. Norman Hunt, Indian, also charged with the shooting, is still in jail in default of bond.
