SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR IN CHESTER
FIELD-MAN SHOT AND DANGEROUSLY
WOUNDED BY A MAGIsTRATE.-On Thurs
day afternoon Mr.. Edward N. Perkinson, q
citizen of Chesterfield, residing about one
mile this side Of Petersburg, was shot and
dangerously wounded by Mr.. P. Fl. Hoy,
formerly wood and coal dealer of this city.
From the Petersburg lndeI we have the 1oI-
lowing particulars:
"We have not been acquainted with the
facts in the premises, but understand the
shooting was regarded as unprovokcd. The
difficulty, which was merely one OF words,
occurred at Mr.. Perkinson's house, Hoy,
conceiying that he had been given the lie,
drew his pistol and fired at Mr.. Perkinson,
the ball entering the left breast, passing
around under the arm and lodging under
the left shoulder blade. DR.. II. G. Leigh,
of this city, was called to attend the wound
ed man. He extracted the ball from the
position in which it had lodged, and dressed
the injuries in the most careful manner.
While the wound is severe, it is not thought
to be mortal, inasmuch as the cavity OF the
chest vas not touched.
" Hoy left thc scene Immediately after
the occurrence The assistance of one or
more officers of this city was obtained, and
pursuit was made. At last accounts he was
some distance ahead Of his puTsuers, and
had not been arrested, though there is nc
doubt that he will be.
LATER-ARREST OF hoy.
"Mr. Hoy was arrested about eight miles
from the city by the mounted posse who
went in pursuit of him. He was taken be-
fore Magistrate J. D. Beck, examined, and
committed to the jail of Petersburg to await
trial for felony. The prisoner was brought
to town about half-past o'clock last night
We learn that much excitement was caused
in Chesterfield by the affair, and that thu
officers having him in charge found some
little difficulty in quieting it.
"Hoy, we understand, is, by appoint
mcnt, magistrate, a constable, and over
seer of the poor, in Chesterfield.
"In addition to what has above beer
stated regarding the cause Of this untortu
nate occurrence, we hear that the partie:
were in conversation about an arrest whicl
How alleged he had made, and which Per
kinson denied whercupon the lie was givcl
by Hoy and returned by Perkinson. The
shooting Immediately followed"
