Mr. Jim Smith, who lives on the Whiteville road a short distance from town, was accidentally shot Saturday morning by Mr. W. A. Norton of East Lumberton while they were squirrel hunting.
Nine No. 4 shot hit Mr. Smith and injured him painfully but not seriously. Mr. Norton brought him to the Thompson Memorial hospital and then went to the sheriff’s office and surrendered himself. He was later released after Sheriff McMillan had held a consultation with the wounded man, who attached no blame to Mr. Norton.
