shooting Afray

Too much enjoyment came very
near producing a tragedy on the af-

pears that several persons were stand
ing near the Court House corner
about seven O'Clock in the evening,
and the street was throDged with
ladies and children ON their way to
and from churches and friends, when
David Linfield, who was very drunk,
commenced using very vulgar and
obscene language. Mr.. Joseph
Grimes, who was standing near by,
cautioned him in q friendly manner
and told him not to use such lam
guage. A vulgar retort was made
when Mr.. Grimes again cautioned
him and told him the police
would come along and take him to
jail. Linfield then commenced to
abuse Grimes and invited him out
of the corporation to fight. Grimes
jocularly assented, and Linfeld lead
ing, took few steps from the pave
ment, when he said, "Daye, I've gone
far enough with you," and started to
retrace his steps to the pavement,
when Linfield fired at his back with
a revolver, the ball taking effect in
the left hip, making painful and Sc
we're wound. Mr.. Grimes was con-
veyed to his house and Linfeld was
subsequently arrested by Sergeant
Carper and Officer Fraley, and in de-
fault OF bail was committed by JUS
tice Mathews for the action of the
