following noucha:ant paragraph :—" We learn that a
shooting affair came off at Lake Providence about a
week ago. A man named Jones shot a man named
Patterson, mistaking him for one Pennington. Pat
terson, after being shot twice, one of the balls lodging
in his breast, drew a pistol and was about to ahoot Jones,
when the latter begged his pardon, saying be had mis-
taken his man. Patterson generously accepted the
apology. ilia wounds are not mortal."
