Shooting ARRAY,
UIGHLANp. Oct. 25. 1868

- HIGHLAND, Oct. 20, 1868.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Our not always
too quiet town was somewhat disturbed
this evening bya shooting affray which
occurred in the bar-room Of hotel kept
by G. d. Hoffman.
1t appears that M. Mcfarland, a some
what notorious rowdy of the place. being
under the influence of liquor, went into
IIoffman's house and commenced row,
whereupon Hoffman ordered him out; at
which Mcfarland turned upon him and
threw him down, when Hoffman fired at
him with revolver, the bali striking him
Just back Of the ear, ranging upward and
making a flesh wound All the doctors
were absent from town, so that at present
the ball has not been extracted. The
wound is not thought to be serious.
Hoffman has had Mcfarland arrested.
Though there was no one seriously hurt
it will be warning to a set of rowdies
that have been making disturbances in
this vicinity for the past few months, and
may result in good for the Sunday whisky
trade. Hlj a ID.
