Eldon Ennes Receives Serious Wounds Inflicted by Tom Luney. Quarrel Over Account Eldon Ennes was stabbed twice in the left side and back with a pocket knife in the hands of Tom Luney Saturday afternoon at Oak Ridge baseball grounds as the result of a quarrel between Luney and Mel Ennes, a younger brother of Eldon, over an account which Mel Ennes had been trying to collect from Luney. The stabbing occurred about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon at a ball game at Oak Ridge. Ennes bled profusely when struck by Luney and before he could be brought to Cassville to have his wounds dressed he was very weak and in a dangerous condition.Car trouble delayed getting him to town. His wounds were dressed by physicians Chandler and Bailey. They found that Ennes had received a serious wound in the left side of the back under the shoulder blade and another in the left side under and in front of the left arm under and in front of the left arm pit. The back wound was very deep and looked serious for sometime. Luney was arrested Saturday night upon a charge of felonious assault and brought to Cassville by Sheriff Houston and Deputy Reed. He succeeded in making bond Sunday for his appearance for preliminary haring which is set for Sept. 13. The trouble between Luney and the Ennes boys is said to have come up over an account which Luney owes Mel Ennes for the season on a colt. Luney and Mel Ennes had been having trouble over the account. While Mel Ennes was in the military service his brother, Eldon, looked after his stock. Only in the way was Eldon interested in the trouble. At the Oak Ridge ball game Saturday the quarrel was renewed between Mel Ennes and Luney. Luney is said to have drawn a knife and Mel Ennes picked up a rock. Luney then jumped out of the way of Mel and attacked Eldon who was standing a few feet away and stabbed him. Mr. Luney claims that he used the knife to defend himself when hit by rocks thrown by the Ennes boys. Ennes is getting along fine and his physicians believe him to be out of danger. Healthy Soldier Kept in Hospital
Guy Cole, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cole west of Exeter arrived home Monday, having received his honorable discharge from the army. He looks the very picture of health and says he never felt better. Guy landed in the United States from France June 16 and was sent to Camp Merritt, examined and sent to Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Ind., to be discharged. In place of being discharged, he was kept there unit the 28th of June and then sent to General Hospital No. 21 and kept there for 31 days before they gave him his discharge. This discharge was not then given until his mother wrote to Congressman McPherson that her son had been sent from Camp Merritt to Ft. Benjamin Harrison to be discharged in June and was being held in a hospital with nothing the matter with him. Congressman McPherson wrote the officers in charge of the hospital at once requesting young Cole's immediate release and he was promptly discharge and reached home Monday. To a man up a tree this looks like pure graft and nothing else. Some army physician certainly must have been holding these boys at the hospital in order to prolong his job. Cole is the very picture of robust health, and says there was not the least excuse to hold him all those weeks in a hospital. Name Added to List
