The Landmark 1892
The Landmark (Statesville, N.C.)

Sept. 8, 1892
The Messenger-Intelligencer says two young ladies, daughters of Mr. H. D. 
PINKSTON of Wadesboro, and a young lady relative, who was their guest, were 
returning to Wadesboro from a visit to the country last Saturday week, and 
when they were near the plantation of MR. DIXON INGRAM they noticed four men --
two of them white and two of them black -- in a field near the road. Just as 
they got opposite these men one of them -- a white man -- pulled out a pistol 
and fired at them, the ball striking the singletree of the phaeton in which 
they were riding, injuring it so badly that it broke in two pieces. Just about 
this time a gentleman came along and helped them to repair the damage, and 
they came on to Wadesboro without further molestation. The scoundrels who 
fired the shot took to their heels as soon as they saw the gentleman coming, 
and they have not yet been arrested, but MR. PINKSTON thinks he knows the name 
of at least one of them and the end of the affair is not yet.
