Lineville Headlight December 16, 1910
On last Sunday, afternoon Jim Hawkins was shot and dangerously wounded by Vest 
Collins near Pickneyyille, this county. At the time of the shooting Hawkins was 
riding horseback in his own field near his home, inspecting a wire fence which 
had been cut in several places. When the gun was fired Hawkins had his right hand 
to his mouth and received the load of shot in his forearm, hand and face, one 
side of his face being almost torn away. His assailant was behind a tree, and he 
did not see him until after the shot was fired. Collins was arrested and is now 
in jail at Ashland.  Doubts are entertained as to the recovery of Hawkins.
