SHOOTING SUNDAY NIGHT.
MAN SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
The AssaiIant Arressed, &C., sc.

For sometime past, a grttdge has ex-
isted between two men named james
johnson and Jerry Woods, who reside
near the FPir grounds. As Officer w.
/. Porter was passing the grounds, be-
tween eight and nine O'clock on Sunday
/ night, he heard the report Of pistol.
! Going to the spot he found ohnson1ying
on the ground badly wounded. Just
before nearing him, however, he heard
some person say, itGd d-n you, pve
| got you now On looking around, he
found Woods with a pistol 10 his hand.
johnson had no weapons. Mr.. Porter
| Immediately acted in the premises, caus-
ing the wounded msn 20 be conveyed to
his home, and Woods TO be brought to
town and lodged I'm jail. He was 3 have
been brought before Mr.. Justice Miller
yesterday afternoon for examination,
but a. the wounded man wns still living
at five o'clock, the investigation was
p~Ostponed for the purpose of as%certaining
whether the'eRse would terminate fatally
or not. Medical attendance was promptly
called In, and everything is being done
for his relief, but no hopes are euter-
tanned Of his recoveTy-the shot having
taken effect in the abdomen. Both par
ties are men of family Woods being a
grocery. keeper, and johnson q farmer,
who lives near him. We have been I'M
able to learn the origin Of the difficulty.
These bloody scenes, in which men allow
their worse passions to rule their actions,
are sincerely to be regretted. It is to be
hoped they have had an end.
