Charivari Fun Ends Up In Wild Shooting Spree
The fun and games at a charivari for a Liberal couple nearly ended in tragedy December 29, 1947. Liberal's Main Street was crowded with people ready to give Luther Mattingly and his bride a proper beginning to married life. One of the crowd, the bride's grandson, Don Sherron, had brought along a shotgun to add to the festive atmosphere. As the crowd was headed toward the restaurant Mattingly owned, the shotgun accidentally went off. The surprised boy then accidentally jammed the gun and the crowd was sprayed with round after round of buckshot from the automatic pump gun. No one was seriously injured, but eight people required medical attention from Dr. Kneeland. According to the published report, the doctor spent most of the evening digging buckshot out of the victims. Among the injured were Miss Jean McClendon, a Barton City schoolteacher, who was hit in the forehead and the knee; Lenore Hamm, hit in the knee and the stomach; Mr. and Mrs. Tom Blackman and their daughter, Judy, were hit in the legs; and Oliver Webb was hit in the thumb.
