Charter Night, Discussed At Junior
Chamber of Commerce Meet Monday
Rev. V. W. Allen,
Smyer Pastor, ■
Accidentally Shot
Left leg of Rev. Vicks W. Allen,
42, pastor of the First Baptist
Church in Smyer, was placed In a
cast Monday afternoon, following a
hunting mishap earlier in which
a bullet struck the leg just below
the knee.
The accident occurred when a
.22 caliber automatic pistol he had
.aid beside him in a car was dis-
charged.
This is what happened, the min-
ister and the group he was hunt-
ing with related.
Rev. Allen and friends were hunt-
ing rabbits in the Spade ranch pas-
ture 21 miles west of Lubbock. He
had been shooting the pistol. One
of those in the group handed him
a rifle, suggesting it would be more
effective.
Rev. Allen took the rifle and laid
the pistol beside him, not closing
the safety catch. Motion of the
automobile presumably caused the
pistol to fire.
With the Smyer minister were
Rev. H. D. Pack, pastor of the Elm
Mott, McLennan County, Baptist
Church; L. A. Harless, of Shallo-
water route, 1 Rev. Marcus Rexrode
of Dallas and Rev. W. E. Welch of
Marlin.
