Srapnel Rakes Wagner Creek Home

Ten Lives of the Purvis family were menaced when a war relic was thrown into a yard fire by William Smith and Purvis who were cleaning up the yard and burning trash.  Eighteen bullets passed through a window and one of them scimmed the leg of Mrs. Works.  The blast was heard 7 miles away.
