CAUSES SHOOTING
McCartney Thought He Was
Shooting Rep. Caldwell. But
Shot Pal. Instead
As a result of too much Christ
mas booze, Otis Parsons of the De
partee neighborhood was shot by
Jim McCartney, but fortunately
was only slightly injured the shot
taking effect in the wrist and pro
ducing only a flesh wound.
The shot was intended for Rep
resenative W. J. Caldwell, but
fortunately he was no ways near
when the shot was fired.
A hog belonging to Mr. Cald
well was running at large near
McCartney’s house and McCartney
put the hog in a pen. Caldwell
came along and saw the hog and
told McCartney to turn it out, that
it was his. Some angry words were
passed but McCartney turned the
hog out and Caldwell rode away
and went home. Later, McCartney
and Parsons decided to go to Cald
well’s home and settle the dispute.
Both were drinking but they de
cided to have another drink before
going, so they went into the house
and drank and McCartney got a
gun. They started for Caldwell’s
but McCartney got down and
could go no further. While he w as
down, someone remarked, “Yon
der comes Caldwell now.” McCart
ney pulled his gun and fired two
shots in rapid succession, one of
them striking Parsons in the
w'rist.
McCartney was later arrested
charged with assault with intent
to kill. His trial was held before
John Seymore Wednesday, Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Earl Casey
representing the state and Attor
ney representing the state and At
torney J. R. Alexander defending
McCartney. The charge of assault
with intent to kill was dismissed
and lie was tried on a charge of
aggravated assault and was found
guilty and fined $50 and ten min
utes in jail.
Dr. W. P. Lawffon and daugh
ter, Miss Lucy, are spending a few

gone, and it was a nice, quiet
