Crimson Shooting Affair.

Our correspondent of Honeyville,
Page county, -ays: Quite an eX-
catement was created in our sec
ton yesterday oy The shooting of
a young man by the name of Green
wood Merits by Il. Derrough. 1t
seems that there mas been quite an
intimacy existing between Morris
aud Derrough's wife On yester-
day, May %. Mr. borough con-
ccaled himself in pine thicket
near his house, expecting Morris
and his wife TO meet there. He did
not remain long before Morris
came up, looking all around, as
slough he was expecting
the object of his desire. Der
s'oagh became so exasperated that
ne wanted to shoot at once but his
orother-in-law who was with him,
begged him to wait until his sister
came, and then shoot. But it seems
ne could not Wait,and fired load,
which consisted of three buckshot
and three balls, striking him in
the arm. SCATTERING it very badly.
and one ball passing through his
bowels. He then ran after him
with four-shooter, firing as he
ran, until he emptied the four bar
rels of his revolver, 1t is thought
young Morris will die. If he re-
covers he will be minus one arm,
at least. Derrough has fled. it is
thought,to parts unknown.-iShen-
