O'Clock OH Friday night Of last week,
the citizens of the Western part Of oar
town were aroused by the startling an
pouncsment that Lum Warfeld, color
ed, had attempted to kill Charlie Doug
las, also cslored, by shooting with a
pistol, st the "Rsd House" as it is call
ed, which is occupied by several color
cd families. From what We can gather,
as to the facts, in the ARRAY, is, that
Warfeld was under the influence OF IL
quor, and engaged in conversation with
Douglas and a colored girl, when War
field remarked to Douglas "D-m you,
l will shoot you" and Immediately pull
ed from his pocket small ''four-shoot-
e, and shot Douglas, and it seems with
out any provocation whatever. War
field Immediately made his escape, aud
is thus far still at large. The ball en-
tered just below the breast bone, III
front, little to the right Of the nedi-
um line, and in the region of the liver.
DR.. Z. T. Butler probed for the ball but
was not successful in finding il Is yet.
Douglas is still living, with soms
hopes of his recovery under the treat
ment of DR.. Butler. Wsrfielj, We be-
lieve, is from the neighborhosd at Pc
tersviHe, Frederick County, Nd, and
has been resident of this place bat a
short time.
