Shooting Of Capt. John p. Ward at
Lexington.
fFrom the petrolt Tribnnc. ootober 1o.l

lne DETROIT IrlDunes OCTOBER ~.
Intelligence was received in this city at
an early hour on Saturday that Capt John
P. Ward was shot at Lexington on Fri
day, by brother of Ida Farman, the girl
who had instituted proceedings against
him for rape. The remoteness of the To-
cation of the homicide renders it, of course,
impossible to procure direct statements of
its circumstances, but basing our accounts
upon the details thus far received at this
point the particulars of the tragedy are as
follows;
The investigation in the case against
Capt. Ward was continued Friday at Lex
iRgton, the day being consumed in the
taking of testimony for the defense. Capt
Ward was present with his counsel, and a
brother of Ida F arman, lad of about l6
years of age, was also in tae court room,
watching the progress of the trial. The
testimony closed at about nine o'clock in
the evening, and the court adjourned. On
leaving the building young Farman fol-
lowed Capt. Ward, and when they had
gone about 200 yards fired upon him with
a revolver, the ball striking him near the
spine and passing entirely through his
abdomen, making a most dangerous
wound. He instantly fell to the ground,
when Farman fired two more shots at him,
both taking effect in the chest, one pene-
trating and lodging in the lung, and the
other glaRcing around the ribs and making
only flesh wound. Farman made no eff
fort to escape, and was, of course, instant
ly arrested and confined Medical aid
was summoned for the injured man, and
it was found that all the lower portion of
his BODY and limbs was totally paralvsed. |
indicating that the spine had been serious
ly injured and forbidding any certain hope
Of his recovery. The other wounds are not
Of a mortal character, but this is of the
most serious and alarming nature.

r .ANoNHER ACCOUNT.

E-f PoRT HURON, Oct H.
Capt. Ward was shot last night on the
street of Lexington, while passing from
the courtroom to the hotel, by lad of
seventeen, named Farman. He fell at
the first shot, the ball entering the back
and passing into his body in the direction
of his breast. The murderer fired two
more shots when he was down, one caus-
ing flesh wound. He was seized while
firing again, and put in Jail. The steamer
Reindeer came down to Port Huron and
took Surgeon from hence. When she
left Lexington, at 4 A. NJ, Capt. w. was
easier, but there is little hope, as the body
is paralyzed below the wound.

District: There's groat Zeal of hu-
man nature in folks
We have thought Of this sometimes
with smile when we have been kindly
chided for seeming to neglect the sol
dicrs of our own State for the purpose
Of bes;owing plaudts on the Missouri
ans; as we were some time since for
saying. as we thought, some Just and
kind things OF our Indian allies at the
supposed expense of the Texas soldiers
Thes. things arise from an undue
senstiveness of military pride, high
and honorable sentiment truly, but when
carried TO excess, leading often tp mis-
apprehension and injustice

notice of nativity or residence All arc
one. The natives of Europe or the
North even, enlisted in our armies and
fighting side by side with Arkansians,
equally with citizens of other Southern
States, and our Indian friends, who no
bly, sustain our cause under such heavy
trials-are all our brothers. All are
striking for the self-same object, dearer
to Us than any boon on carth-the inde-
pcndencs Of our country. Just Low we

We admire, and acknowledge our graf

efforts prevail, we would-encourage all
equally. and give all an equal share Of

humanity. We have no higher wish
nor oan think of any higher condition Of
impregnable defence against the foe
than the universal and hearty prevalence
of these sentiments thr0ug hour tho army
