a difficulty occurred ID Tuesday last, on
the Yazoo river, between Thomas ]. Powell
and John Tfimbie, in which Trimbles SAYS
the Vtcksburg Daily Whig of the s5ah inst,
was shot. and It'll supposed, MORALLY woun-
ded. Powell had command of keel boat, and
employed Trimbie as a hand-it appears from
the evidence given before the Magistrate on
PoWelFs examination, that the keel boat vas
dashed to the steamer Hard Times, when a
dispute arose between the two about wages.
which resulted in Trimhle's swearing that he
would sink the boat. He seized an axe, and
cur the ropes at the bow Of the boat, and then
went to stern to cut the ropes there. Powell
warned him to desist, which he did not do,
and while in the act of cutting the rope, he
was shot with six barrel revolver. Powell
was dischaTed by the Magistrate-the act
being considered justiiable.--C our.
