Narrow Escape From Gunfire Endangers Glenwood Doctor
Glenwood’s Dr. S. J. Tipton narrowly escaped fatal injury when a revolver shot aimed during a dispute with F. J. Hendricks struck him above the abdomen near the torso. The incident occurred near the motor company plant as Tipton, a former magnetic healer, argued over money. Hendricks drew, Tipton struck first, and the bullet lodged in clothing. Tipton, recently arrived from Glenwood, had left magnetic practice for coal shoveling and recounted the confused scene, with both men previously partners in the magnetic trade fading after Christmas. The note follows a long account of Tipton’s past disputes and a second column on Nome mining speculation and an advertisement for Dr King’s New Discovery.
