Shooting Affair
Summary
A government detective, David B. Souders, mistook John Wise, son of Mr. Daniel Wise, for a deserter and accidentally shot him in Boonsboro as he tried to run away. Wise was wounded in the leg, but Souders is not held responsible because Wise was partially dressed as a soldier and represented himself as part of the army. Wise resides on South Mountain near the town. [from Boonsboro' Odd Fellow]
