A fight occurred at q dance given at
Goose Island few days since, resulting in
the shooting and severely, though not dam
wounding one man. and the terri
bio beating Of another. The fight seems
to have been badly mixed up affair
every body present was in the fight, but
none of them knew what they were fighting
about The wounded man, whose name is
George Nv. Powell, was brought to
town last night and incsrcerated in the
county Jail. He was arrested for an
assault, but whether it was nm assault to
murder, to do bodily injury, or a regular
rough and tumble assault, we could not
learn. He received pistol ball in the
right thigh, but, however painful the
wound may be it is not dangerous. A
young man by the name of Bishop is re-
ported to have done tho shooting. He
left the country and has not boon
heard from since the occurrence.
