Spare Time Cabin Builder Finishes Two Story Home
Bob Leigh spent five years building a two story six room cabin in Winston-Salem. He did the framing and doorwork, cut the colored glass for windows, and hired artisans for beams and roof work, creating a showplace of his own handiwork. Nearby in Watsonville a deputy found a dead duck in Kelly Lake with a saddled horse and a shotgun on the bank. The cowboy Pred Dorrance’s body was later found in the lake. Dorrance allegedly shot the duck and rode his horse into the lake to fetch it, the horse then threw him into eight feet of water and swam back ashore.
