In reference to the shooting of C. L.
Harris at Dale’s mills, he gays he was
on friendly terms with his nephew, and

ris, and asked him to go with him to his
bu»rgy- He had some nice cider and
wanted him to drink some with him. In

keeper of S. G. Harris went over to John
Harris, and, as he didn’t care to have
her at his place, asked her to leave his
premises, and C. L. Harris asked John
why he ran her cff. Was he mad with
him? Perhaps some one had given him
some incorrect news concerning him (C.
L. Harris) At this John said if it was
trouble he was after he would give him
all he wanted, and began shooting him.
The first ball passed through his left
arm, entering his chest near his heart.
He (C L. Harris) fell to the ground and
begged John not to shoot him any more,
that he was already killed, but John
Harris fired three more shot*, all taking
effect, and from the way the balls ranged
shows that he was down and John Har
ris was shooting at his head. The atate
ment that C. L. Harris shot at him
twice before John shot is untrue. Sev

son and round where he was shot.
