MonE SuoorINo.-About Z o'clt

last evening, Stephen Woodward was
shot and quite severely wounded by
Joshua James, ut the residence Of the
former, north Of the Hale s. Norcross
works, Virginia. Both men are team-
sters, aud as we hear the story, Wood
ward suspected James Of being rather
too Intimate with his wife. About Z
O'Clock, James went to Woodward's
house and knocked. The door was
opened by Woodward, who, seeing
James, put his hand behind him as
though to draw a pistol, when James
drew his pistol and fired. DIR. o
son, who attended the wounded man,
informs us that the bullet entered near
the point Of the LEFT shoulder and
passed downward into the cavity OF the
chest. He says the wound may prove
fatal or it may not amount to much.
It all depends upon the course taken
by the ball ; which, Of course, could
not be determined after It had entered
the chest. The wounded man com
plains OF a pain In his side, which
would seem to indicate that the a l
lodged somewhere about the seat OF the
pain of which he complains. AS soon
as he fired the shot James went to the
count iail, and meeting Sheriff Atkin-
son there. said .'Sheritf, | want to
give myself up" "What have you
been doing 2" asked the Sheriff. TAX
ing a shot at a man." said James.
Why did you shoot at the man!'
nWeil, he was pulling his gun on me,
ami I thought IL about time to be do
Inc something" Ibid you hit the
man?" Don't know; the pistol
made a good deal Of smoke. n l
started up here without waiting I o
see" The Sheriff locked HIM up until
he corld hear what damage had been
done. Verify. the people Of virginia
are out upon the wsr-path.
