'Reminiscent History Of The Ozark Region' on page 682:
"In May 1893, while Mr. Harrison was taking a trip through Polk
Co.,AR, he was taken for a United States Marshal by a party of
moonshiners, was led into an ambush and was shot four times with a
44 caliber Winchester rifle. One shot took effect in his body, one
in his right arm, removing two inches of the neck, and one passing
through the tongue, tearing out the roof of the mouth.
Two of the men are now paying the penalty of their misdeeds in the
penitentiary, but it was fully eight weeks before Mr. Harrison was
able to be out of bed, during which time he came very near death's
door, only a hardy constitution and excellent nursing carrying him
through".
