deliberate shooting and killing of johnson

young man, by Horace R. Plumley. Indis-
criminate shots were then exchanged between
the parties, resulting in the wounding OF
Horace r. Plumley and john Gilman, ir.
Five of the principals in the ARRAY, viz: s.
Plumley, Horace Plumley, his son and the
murderer; George Butterfly, his son-in-law
and two men named Abraham Winn and
Napoleon QUARTER, employees Of Balch have
been arrested and are confined in the jail here
awaiting an examination. Frank PlumIey,
another son of Serbra and one of the contest
ents, is concealed in the woods at present, but
will be secured tomorrow. Both the Plumley
and Balch factions were evidently prepared
for the affray, as they were all armed The
deceased was highly respectable young man,
and his death is much deplored, even his muir
derer asserting that he knew nought against
him. The affair has created much excitement
