The frolic was extended beyond the hour of midnight and was closed at 2:30 a.m. in a very unforeseen manner. Several young men from Cameron, one of them being J. F. Heaner, became involved in a difficulty with Henry Leary, another Cameron visitor. The crowd was terror-stricken by a fusillade of shots in the room and when it was over, it was learned that Heaner had been shot twice through the left leg, Ballard Thompson of Cameron received a flesh wound in the left leg, Will Mowdy, who lives in Beat 3, received a wound to his right arm, the ball fracturing the bone. One woman was severely burned with powder. The wounded men were brought to town. Will Massengale went over early the next morning and arrested Leary and on Saturday he made $700 bond. Examining trial before Justice Lankford next Monday, June 30th.
