FEUD RESULTS IN WOUNDING OF ONE
Charles Mountey Held Justified For Shooting O. H. Carr the Thigh.

O. H. Carr-, who lives two miles east of Kingsport near the C. C. & O.
tunnel, was shot through the thigh last night in an altercation between
himself and Charles Mountey, whose life it was shown in court this
afternoon before Judge E. D. Smith, had been threatened by Carr.
Mountey, who was arrested by Policemen Leedy and Parrott and Deputy
Sheriff W. P. Flora on a charge of felonious assault, was discharged
after it was shown that stones had been through against the front door
of the Mountey one and two shots fired in the dor sill before Mountey
had gone out with a gun to investigate.
Carr, witnesses testified, sprang from behind some bushes with a stone
in his hand and swore at Mountey and his young son when the shot which
wounded Carr was fired. According to the testimony the trouble between
the two families has been of long duration and, it was testified, Carr
had threatened Mountey before to such an extent that a writ requiring
him to keep the peace was issued against him. 
Mountey was defended by Dodson and Ferguson, while T. R. Bandy
conducted the prosecution.
