Asheville, June 3—Shot in the shoulder and one lung, Pat H. Thrash lies near death in a local hospital as a result of a pistol duel with J.P Sanders, Southern Railway engineer, fought on the front porch of the latter’s home here at 10 o’clock last night. The trouble began over rent from the house which Thrash was attempting to collect, it was said.
Sanders is in the city jail pending the outcome of Thrash’s wounds. Little home was held for his recovery, hospital authorities said today.
