Terry was shot three times and probably seriously wounded here late this afternoon by Clarence Bowers 20 year? old, a prisoner. The shooting took kplace on the steps ol the county jail, just as Bowers was being led into the building. Bowers fled but was at liberty only, about 30 minutes. He was recaptured by Sheriff J. C. Sells and Chief of Police W. E. Jackson, who found him crouching on the root of the Hines' drug store, near the scene of the shooting. He reached the roof of the building by climbing the fire escape. Bowers had been given a hearing in the court of a justice of peace on a forgery charge and was bound over to the court of common pleas under bond and Deputy Sheriff Terry was returning him to the jail. On the steps of the jail he halted and when Terry seized him by the shoulder he whipped out his revolver and fired three shots. One hit the officer in the cheek, the second entered his right side and the third shattered the left arm. Terry was taken to the county hospital where an X-ray photograph was taken. Doctors believe that the injuries will not prove fatal. Bowers recently returned from the state reformatory at Mansfield, where he served a two year term for forgery, He had been w-orking as a strike breaker at Crestline, O. An additional charge will not be placed against him until the true condition of Terry is determined, authorities announced late tonight./ o FREE Stone on street running past Steele’s North End grocery.
