The following article was printed on June 12, 1914, CHARLEY BALL SHOOTS BOB LISENBEE - WOUND BELIEVED FATAL On Thursday morning about noon Charley Ball who lives about a mile or two from Marshall was in Marshall and met Bob Lisenbee on the street near Bailey & Jarrett's Hardware store. We do not know whether any words passed between them or whether there were any demonstrations of hostility by either of the parties. When they ran up with each other it is said that Ball fired on him several times and that three shots took effect, one in the temple ranging up and passing out on the same side of the head as it entered, an other entered the mouth knocking out several teeth while another entered the side of the abdomen. In a few minutes a doctor was on the scene and had Lisenbee hurriedly taken to the depot where he was put on the Saint Louis Special and carried to a hospital in Asheville. We are informed that the doctor thought the wounds fatal but it is hoped that Lisenbee will recover, although it is stated that he said he would die. We do not know what the trouble was between them, but reports have it that Ball says he did the shooting in defense of his daughter's virtue. As soon as the shooting was over Ball walked down the street and ask for the sheriff. Police Kuykendall came up and arrested him and he was taken to jail. Sheriff Buckner was at Hot Springs. There was considerable excitement on the streets after the shooting and various reports afloat as to the difference between the parties. We dislike to go into further details of the unfortunate affair for the reason that the facts, when developed, may be different from the reports we have heard and an incorrect statement through the press would have a tendency to prejudice the rights of the parties interested, To say the least it is a case for the jury to decide. *** Bob Lisenbee died June 6, 1914 at Mission Hospital in Asheville, N.C. He was shot on Thursday, June 4, 1914 and died on Saturday, June 6, 1914.
