The bullet from a revolver struck Bolton above the right eye and ranged downward, bursting the eyeball and lodging in the right cheek. The prospects of his recovery are small.
Jealousy is supposed to have caused the shooting. After the shooting she was committed to jail in default of $10,000 bond. Mrs. Bolton is a member of a prominent family of Springfield, Mo., and was married last September.

State Journal (Jefferson City) June 19, 1874 Pg4

A thief and burglar named Benjamin Shackelford has been arrested at Boonville, Mo., and has a somewhat remarkable record. From papers found on his person it appears that he was formerly a circuit preacher in southern Kansas, and at one time immersed twenty converts.
He apostatized from the sacred calling on account of not receiving his back pay, and turned horse-thief and highwayman.
He broke into Barry county jail last year, and then broke out again, was badly wounded in a melee in Macon county, where he is under indictment for burglary and larceny. He is supposed to have been one of the Gads Hill robbers, and has been taken to the Macon county jail to give an account of himself.

Guess he couldn't make money as a preacher so he took up stealing horses and robbing trains.
