Goree and Thornton Holland, a tenant on the Goree farm. It appears Holland purchased a milk cow from Goree and had not settled for the animal. A dispute arose and some very bad reports reached Goree about what Holland was alleged to ave said. When they met, Goree stabbed Holland 4-times, one of the wounds reached to the lungs. During the encounter Goree’s son, a boy, shot Holland 4-times, without effect. Holland, last Monday, was reported in critical condition. Goree was placed under $2,000 bond and his son was placed under $250 bond.
