SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR AT CHESTER
AN OLD CITIZEN OF RICHMOND SHooTs His
SoN-IN-LAw-HE Is M0RTALLY WOUNDED
The CAUSE, ErC.-On yesterday afternoon
mt shout O'Clock a shooting affair took
place ut Chester station, on the Petersburg
railroad, which, for, the causes FROM which
it ensued and its results, is one Of the sad
dest we have ever been called upon to re-
cord. The principals to the affair arc Cap
tain Hayward, of the "Dimc Restaurant"
of this city, and Mr.. B. r, Lindsay, his SON.
in.law, and the particulars are OF a most
painful nature. .... ,l.-,. r,...........
On yesterday afternoon Captain Hay
wards youngest daughter left the city for
Chester. Shortly after reaching that place
stricken father learned from her that her
brother-in-law was the father OF the child.
Shortly after this, Mr.. Lindsay came up
stairs and entered the room. He went into
an adjoining room, where he confessed to
Captain Hayward that he was guilty.
Captain Hayward asked him what satisfac-
tiOn he had to offer hiii. He replied {:
"What satisfaction can offer youT
Hc professeG himself ready to receive
whatever Captain Hayward might offer to
redress himself. The latter drew his pistol
md shot him twice. He fell, and was found
to have received one wound ii the thigh
and another in the abdoiien-the latter in
all probability being fatal. Captain Hay
| ward nj once delivered himself UP to ma
gistrate. At last accounts we were not able
| to learn whether or not he was bailed, but
1t was presumed that he would be, beyond
| doubt. 3. .. ...s U.s., ..-r..

tary's terms, and the case stands as it Is
until authority changes here, and that time
Is most certainly near ut hand. the house
will be surrendered and the rent paid; as it
honestly should be. Indeed, the only rea-
son now for not paying Is not law or right,
