SAVAGE IN A QUARREL OVER A DIVISION FENCE. It appears that Savage and his hired man, one Mr. Wilson, were building a line fence between an Indian allotment belonging to Savage and one held by J.D. Turner, when the latter and his son Clint approached. A quarrel ensued between the elder Turner and Savage about the line of the fence, which Clint Turner took up on the part of his father. After some hot words on both sides, Savage started across the fence with some threat against the younger Turner, who drew a gun and shot three times. One shot broke Savage’s left arm and one penetrated the right breast, the other missing. Savage was not armed. The elder Turner at once interfered and took the pistol from his son and prevented further shooting. Savage’s wounds are considered dangerous and probably fatal. Dr. T. E. Standifer was summoned at once from Elk City and the patient was started at 3:00 Tuesday morning for the hospital at Oklahoma City. The officers were notified by phone and Sheriff Elliott and Deputy Monroe went at once to the scene of the tragedy. Turner could not be found, and it is thought that he is concealed by his friends awaiting the result of Savage’s wounds.
