Glaze was arrested and waived an examina.
ton and was placed under bonds Of ten rhous-
and dollars for his appearance to the circuit
court. So far we can learn Whitley did not
see his assailant at all, and in all probability
never knew who shot him. This affair grew
out Of fued long existing between the parties, and
