SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR AT REIDsvILLE,
n. C.-About O'Clock Thursday morning
a difficulty occurred ut Reidsyille, n. c..
between q man named Felker. engaged in
the pump business, and Colonel P. D. Spen-
Ger, one of the cleyerest gentlemen, OF that
town. 1t seems they had a misunderstood
ing about something, which led to blows,
and, being separated, Colonel Spencer shot
twice at Felker, missing him both times,
when Felker drew pistol and fired at
Spencer, the ball striking the right leg three
inches below the knee and SCATTERING the
bones. The difficulty occurred near Har-
ris's Hotel. Mr.. Felkcr remarked that he
was sorry he had shot Spencer, and'would
not have had it occur for anything; and an
nounced his willingness to assist the wound
ed man. A telegram received by Captain
Clark yesterday afternoon stated that Colo
mel Spencer was suffering very much from
the effects of the wound.-DanuiHe Ne,cS
