The Covington Star June 3, 1885
     Mr. John W. Peek was painfully shot in the foot, at Lee & Bro's store, in 
Covington, on last Saturday morning, by a burglar gun, which had been set for 
the protection of the store. The gun was heavily charged with No 5 shot, and 
the whole load entered his heel, and passed along the whole length of the foot, 
making an ugly and painful wound, but not necessarily a serious one. The gun 
was so arranged as to be discharged by the opening of the door, having 
forgotten to remove the gun, when it was discharged with the above result. Dr. 
A. C. Perry is attending him, and thinks the wound will not prove serious. He 
is getting along as well as could be expected. Mr. Peek is an industrious and 
worthy young man, and we hope he may soon be up again.
