Last Sunday Ford Doekery and Nose
Smith, two heightened negro residents of
Presidents Island, engaged in a game of
marbles on the piazza of the leading
village on the Island. The game soon
resulted in a row, during which Dockery
drew his trusty pistol and shot Smith in
the neck, the ball lodging in the back
and ~inficting a severe and dangerous
wound, which will probably prevent
Smith from ever again INDUCING in mar
Bile playing on the green. Dockery was
arrested and lodged in the county Jail
