A Dispute Over a Roadway Leads to
Serious Trouble.
A dispute over a roadway
running through the farm of
Sam Morgan, near Bridgewa
ter, arose between Morgan
and L. J. Ehrliek, who lives
in the same neighborhood.
Morgan closed the road, was
indicted and cited for trial be
fore Esq. W. N. Thompson
on Tuesday last. Ehrliek, on
his way to the trial, in com
pany with John Patton, was
ambushed and shot in the left
arm by Morgan with a double
barrel shotgun. Before Mor
gan could shoot the second
time Patton interfered and
seized him and threw him
to the ground. In the scuffle
Ehrliek procured the gun and
iired at Morgan but missed
him. He then hit Morgan in
the head with a stick and ran.
When Morgan was released
by Patton he whipped out a
pistol and began firing at Pat
ton, .who also fled. Only one
shot from the pistol, however,
took effect, this one striking
Patton in the back.
Dr. Riddle, of Bridgewater,
was sent for and attended the
wounded men. We learn that,
although the wounds are very
painful, it is not thought that
they will prove fatal.
The shooting, of course,
caused the calling off of a trial
of the road matter. Morgan
made his escape and at this
writing has not been appre
hended, although a diligent
search for him has been made
by Deputy Sheriff Hutchins
and others.
Sam Morgan is a son of
Bruce Morgan, of McDowell
county.
L. J. Ehrliek married a
daughter of Robert E. Patton
and is a local preacher.
The above account of the
shooting was gathered by a
News reporter from parties
living in the neighborhood
where it occurred.
