SHOOTING AFFaAY. Our usually
quiet village was on yesterday after
noon thrown into a hutter of excite
ment over the fact that Marshal Kelts
had shot John Wright in his saloon
1t seems that the Marshal entered the
saloon and stated to Wright that he
had come to serve writ upon him for
selling liquor without license
Wright replied "By cd, you won't
here", and ordered him to quit tie
premises. Kelts refused to go, at
which Wright removed him to the
street by force. When near the door
the Marshal fired at Wright, the bah
passing between the legs of the latter.
Just as Kelts was being led out the
door he again turned and fired at
Wright, the ball taking effect in the
left breast The wound Was slight,
being only in the flesh, and no serious
or fatal results will follow. Marshal
Kelts is, we learn, under the protection
of the Sheriff, and will appear today
in court 10 answer whatever charges
may be brought against him.
