The shooting affair of last Saturday
caused considerable excitement throughout
the town. Little sympathy with the actors
in the almost tragedy is felt by the respect
able portion of the community, but one
hears on the Streets sounds which indicate
that the prevailing sentiment is one OF in
tense disgust with the whole performance
and those concerned in it. Intelligent,
orderloving, law-abiding people ale the
predomnating element in the entire town
of Castleton. and much Indignation is felt
that we should be brought into notoriety
by such Il transaction as that of Saturday.
Much interest was manifested in the trial,
the streets being thronged with men from
this and adjoining towns. Owing to the
.. unfavorable condition of Streeter, the
wounded man, the examination was ad.
journed until Friday, May 18th. States
Attorney Ormsbee visited the scene of the
shooting on Tuesday afternoon and found
that Mrs Streeter, who had disappeared in
the morning, had returned, having. as she
claimed, concealed herself from fright.
Sheriff Smith visited her with the proper
papers Tuesday evening, and she will prob
ably appear at the examination.
Streeter's story is as follows: While at
his work Saturday, he overheard q message
from his wife to Hudson, and hurryine
home, he concealed himself in the shed.
The messenger soon appeared and told Mrs.
Strceter that Hudson was coming, ana was
then down on the railroad approaching the
place. The railroad runs east and west
ten or twelve rods from the house, which is
situated on the west side of the road run
ming north and south. The garden extends
nearly to the railroad, and Mrs. Streetel
left the house, passing thence to the fence,
where she was met by Hudson, he being on
one side Of the fence and she on the other
Strceter followed and Hudson Jumped
over the fence with n pistol in his hand
Strceter closed on lin, taking him by the
throat, when Hudson fired. Streeter's
wife came to the aid of Hudson and was
struck by her husband, after which he
went in pursuit of the officers. Streetel
will probably recover, although he is suf
fering somewhat from the effects of the
wound. W.
