THE LATE AFFAIR IN CULPEPER
From the Richmond Dispatch.l
STEyENsBURG, CULPEPER Co.,

July Is. 1867
r am paned to record most serious affair
between two prominent citizens OF this place,
resulting, as we fear it will, in the death OF one
Of the parties. On last Sabbath morning, while
preparing to attend church, Mr.. Martin Brown
visited his stable for the purpose OF saddllng
his horse when he was attacked by Mr.. Robt
Grayson, shot three times. and dangerously,
perhaps mortally, wounded.
On the Wednesday preceding Mr.. Grayson
left home, stating that he intended to VISIT
Charlottesville. On Saturday evening Mr.
Brown, while grazing his horse near Mr.
{iraysons house, saw andconverscd With Mrs.
Grayson, which conversation, it is stated, was
overheard bv her husband, and was the cause
of the lamentable affair. Mrs e. disclaims
ANYTHING criminal having been sad by either
party. A.
Soon after sunrise on Sunday morning, Mr.
Grayson sccreted himself near Mr.. brown
stable, and as Brown approached fired on HIM
with double barrel shot gun, woundlng HIM
10 the left side. Mr.. Brown who was stooplng
TO pick up the stable key which he had Drop
ned. was completely bewildered by the surprise,
and before he recovered his presence OF mind
received second shot. Brown being unarmed,
turled to seek safety in fight, when Grayson
fired third shot with a pistol, which took
effect in the back. Grayson then advanced
upon him, but seeing several gentlemen coming
to Browns rescue, turned and ran home,
locked up his gun in the barn, and informed
hs vile OF his act, and, mounting his horse.
rode to Culpeper Court House and surrendered
himself to the civil authorities.
The physicians who were called IN to attend
Mr.. Brown have but slight horees of his recoV-
erv, Three buckshot still remain in his abdo
men, and four in his left side and breast, while
the pistol ball in his back caunot be traced.
The affair excites much regret, as both
gentlemen we're we'll known in the community
in which they live.
