SERIOUS sArrRAY.-John Stanton and DavI
Id Orr, present partners in the stage lines
between Auburn, Forest Hill, Michigan Bluff,
etc., had serious affray at Forest Hill on
last Sunday afternoon, the result of a misun-
derstauding in their business affairs. The
first Of the difficulty appears to bave taken
place in the yard Of the stage stable, where
the parties were alone. 1t is alleged that
Stanton drew knife, and Orr pistol, with
which be shot Stanton in the left shoulder,
the ball ranging down the arm and coming
out near the elbow. They then separated,
when Stanton procured large smoothbore
pistol, and in little while they met again
in the main street of the town-Orr driving
a stage at the time. Orr descended from
the box, and drew navy revolver-and all
though Mr.. Scott, Justice Of the Peace, at
tempted to prevent them from fighting, they
fred almost simultaneously. Stanton's pistol
was loaded with buckshot, two Of which en-.
tered Orr's lungs; one or two other shot
wounded him slightly. Stanton was shot
through the left hand, with ball. Both
men fell, and before they could make further
demonstrations we're taken away by their
friends. We learn that the wounded men
are doing well, although at first Orr's wounds
in the lungs were considered fatal.
The occurrence has been much regretted
BY the friends of the parties, rs they are both
highly acknowledging quiet, industrious
citizens, and old residents. Previous to the
difficulty they had been warm friends.
