A MAN SHOT AND KILLED
Anotheg Wounded,-A party of men
on Friday night last attempted to
force an entrance into Mr.. Castro's
grocery store situated near the Mag
nolia Cemetery. Report says, that
they were in quest of liquor, and
that the proprietor of the store de-
Ginning to open the door, they adop-
ted the means above stated for max
ing their way into the premises any
how, Notwithstanding they were
warned to desist from their unlawful
undertaking.
From the number of burglarious
outrages perpetrated in our city,
MIR. Castro naturally enough looked
upon the intruders as robbers and
was prepared to receive them accor-
dinghy. He fired upon them, killing
one man instantly and wounding an
other in the foot. The Individual
killed, turned out to be young man
we'll known here, whose parents re-
side in this city. His name was
Andrew Il. Balsineur.
Coroner Chas. Collect held an in
quest on the body of the deceased,
and it was subjected to a post NOR.
tenn examination by DR.. A. T. Steele.
The examination proved that ten
buckshot had taken effect on the
body-eight of them in the back,
one in the left arm and one in the
right side. Three of the balls lodged
in the left and five in the right lung.
The individual who was woun-
ded, is, we are informed, soldier of
the U. S. Army, and We suppose his
case will be looked into by the
proper authorities.
Mr.. Castro promptly delivered
himself over to the Mayor, conscious
of having done nothing more than he
had right to do under the circum-
stances-namely, to defend his own
person, family and property against
what he naturally conceived to be a
wanton outrage, involving imminent
danger from violence and wrong.
