FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.

One day after our last issue, a row
occurred on Union wharf, in which
H. L. Sutton, the keeper of saloon
at that place, shot man named
Howard, causing the death of the
latter on Sunday afternoon. Two of
the shots took effect; one in the arm,
and the other in the abdomen, the
latter missile doing but too we'll its
murderous work of sending an un-
prepared soul into eternity. 1t seems
that an old feud had existed between
these two men, the elimination of
which was the row resulting as
shown. Sutton, very soon-perhaps
ten minutes-after the row, took
his money, firearms, &C., and, in
company with another fellow, start
ed out in small boat, and was soon
far ahead of retributive (?) justice.
AS regards the details of the affair,
not much of interest remains to be
said. Current reports as to the
whereabouts of the murderer are fly
ing around; the up-Sound papers are
severely censuring this town, not
without some cause, for allowing the
fellow to escape in broad daylight;
a reward of $500 has been offered,
by Sheriff Miller, for the body of
Sutton, and good deal of excite
ment is still manifested in town over
the affair. The feeling here against
Sutton seems quite strong, and is al
most universal, although his victim
was acknowledged to be quarrelsome
man, belonging to the same class as
himself.
We have been repeatedly asked
for public expression of views, in
regard to the neglect of duty by
our County officers. This is rather
hard to give, fully, considering all
things. No blame can possibly be
attached to Sheriff Miller, as he was
away discharging official duty. AS
to his deputy, we have nothing to
say, offensive or defensive. One
thing, however, is certain; any dal-
lying around and hating between
two opinions, by an officer of the
law, on such an occasion, certainly
merits the severest condemnation.
But the popular criticism is by far
too severe, as will be seen by the
fact that it comes mostly from per-
sons who would do least, personally,
if placed in a responsible position on
a similar occasion.
