Curses Victim After Shooting - Youth Seriously Wounds Man Who Reproved Him At Corn-Shucking 

ROCKY MOUNT, VA., October 26.--A special from Endicott, Va., says that Saturday night, October 23, Tom Jeff Boyd, a youth, shot and seriously wounded Peach Shiveley at a corn-shucking at the home of Henry Adkins. Several days previous Boyd, in passing Shively's home, threw rocks at Shiveley's children and dog. At the corn-shucking Shiveley remonstrated with Boyd, and told him he must not do such things any more.

Boyd left, but soon returned with a shotgun and emptied the contents into Shiveley's back, the charge taking effect just below the shoulder blade. After the shooting Boyd remarked: "Now, d-m you, I reckon you won't try to run over me again."

He reloaded his 16-gauge gun and escaped to the woods, and has not been apprehended. Shiveley's condition is serious. He is totally blind and cannot use his left arm.  Mr. Shiveley is a man of good reputation, and has a wife and four small children.  Posses are searching for Boyd.
