SHooTISG.-lIiram Hiatt shot man
named Major Thompson, in the face with a
pistol at Crab Orchard, last Monday, but
the wound is not dangerous. The difficult
~ grew out Of business transaction. We
learn that W. $. Myers, town Marshal,
started to arrest Hiatt, who ran of, and, to
do so, summoned young man named Geo.
Saunders, to assist in the arrest, but after
they had succeeded in stopping Hiatt,
Saunders turned against the Marshal and
swore that Hiatt should not be arrested and
he made his escape. Il these facts are
true, Saunders has placed himself in an
unenvisble attitude. Rumor says the
shooting was done without right or reason.
