| MURDERERs AT LARGE-S500 REWARD !-On
| Thursday the 4th inst, two brothers residing at
Washington, N. c., committed a murderous as
sault upon John w. Grist, Esq, an estimable citi-
| zen of that place, who was mortally wounded and
in the affair a negro man received injuries which
it is thought he cannot possibly survive. The
brothers are named respectively George A and
Chas. Fl. Latham. They have fed from justice
and reward of $3.50 each will be given for their
apprehension The difficulty between the Lath
ans and Mr. Grist is of several months duration.
1t grew out of understanding with regard to
the question of ad valorem taxation, anterior to
the late Gubernatorial election, at which time the
d-d lie passed and blows ensued. Last Thurs
day, Geo. A. Latham and Mr. Grist met, when
the difficulty was renewed, followed by aterca-
ton, in which Latham was knocked down with
stick. Latham, greatly exasperated, went of and
communicated with his brother, and the two armed
with revolving pistols, got into buggy and start
ed in pursuit of Grist They came up with the
object of their vengeance fronting the Banking
house, aud commenced firing. Mr. Grist immedia-
tely drew his pistol to protect himself, and some
fifteen shots were fired in all. Mr. Grist received
ball in the lower part of his abdomen, just below
the navel, which passed entirely through the un-
fortunate man and came out near his hip. The
ball also perforated his bladder it is thought He
received another severe wound in his right leg.
The random shots also struck parties in the vicini
ty. A negro man engaged at work on new
building by, attracted by the firing, made his
appearance at the front door, when ball struck
him in the breast which it is supposed will prove
fatal. A Mr. NORM, white man who near,
received ball in one of his arms, inficting pain
full but not dangerous wound. The shooting oc-
CURED on Main street at midday, and the wonder
is that great many persons were not injured.
The brothers Latham eaped into buggy near by
after the shooting, and made good
their escape.
Mr. Grist, we understand, is a gentleman of
high responsibility and large means, and has
family The brothers Latham are also wealthy.
