Anniston Star July 18, 1920
Ervin Jenkins, 19-year-old son of Allen Jenkins, of Delta, was shot through the 
stomach by the accidental discharge of a shot gun Friday night near his home, 
was reported late Saturday afternoon to be sinking rapidly and little hope was 
felt for hie recovery. Mr. Jenkins bad carried his shot gun to the field with 
him on Friday afternoon and in removing it from the wagon at night the weapon 
became entangled in the lines and was discharged. The entire load of shot struck 
him squarely in the stomach and inflicted a horrible wound. Several physicians 
were summoned, and an operation decided upon, but the chances of his recovery 
are extremely slim, according to reports which reached the city on Saturday. 
Miss Noble Jenkins, sister of the wounded man, who is clerking at the Louis 
Plzitz store here, was called to her home Saturday by the serious condition of 
her brother.
