The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, July 2, 1897

Shot By A Negro

Dock Crouch, a white man of Pike County, a tenant on J.P. Crawford’s place near 
Concord, was in Griffin on Friday, and after doing his shopping left for his 
home.

Just as Crouch got in front of his home he was met by Bob Barefield, a negro 
well known in Spalding, when a quarrel ensued over some trivial matter, and Bob 
pulled his pistol and opened fire. One ball struck Mr. Crouch in the groin 
inflicting a painful wound.

The negro escaped and has not yet been apprehended. - Griffin Call
