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.
