From the Ripley News, Sept. 5

From the Ripley News, Sept. 5.
Ga last ID nday night David Brodie,
wei known colored citizen of this place,
was shot and almost killed by some I'M
known person. He W at the residence
Of e. S. Mckinney, Esq, in whose employ
ment be has been for the past two or three
months, and hearing some noise in the
back yard, went out for the purpose OF as
csrtaiuing what was the cause, and had no
sooner stepped from the door than he was
fred upon ~ some person concealed IN the
darkness. There is no certain proof as TO
who is The perpetrator Of this bloody deed,
but suspicion rests upon ore Joe JordsD,
n gro man, who has Teen residing near
oEnf some time pas. D vld, it is SAID,
was not Joe's intended victim, and he was
probably shot through mistake G srley
Reynolds, upon whom Joe looks with the
green eye of JEALOUSY, on account OF his
marked attentions to certain colOred dam
sci, Who once occupied the position Of
house keeper in Joe's cabin, but who COW
refuses to longer illumine its walls with the
lchs of her cOuntenance, is supposed to be
the man be was afer. The girl now lives
at MIR. MeKinney's, and Joe probably mis-
took Dave for his dusky rival, returning
from visit to the jet Of his alteration.
No arrest has been made, Joe having i'm
mediately dec2mped for parts unknown.
