This morning a white man, D, ]. Par.
ten, a painter by trade, shot a negro
named ]. X. P. Kirk, who has been
driving a breed wagon for Mr.. Snyder, a
South street baker. The wagon was at
a shop undergoing repairs, and this
morning Kirk went for it. When he ar
rived he found his employer, Mr.. Snyder,
and D. I. Parten talking about employ
ing Parten as a wagon driver in place of
him (Kirk). Parten and Kirk had some
words, aud Parten went into the shop
but returned in a few seconds with pistol
in hand. He fred two shots at Kirk,
one of the balls entering the shoulder
joint, but fortunately the ball did not
break any bones. DR.. j. NJ. Rogers ex-
tracted the ball from Kinks shoulder at
the ststion-house. Parten was arrested
and locked up to await a trial before the
Recorder tomorrow morning on the
charge Of shooting with attempt to com
NIT murder.
