| A report reached us late last night that a
colored man by the name OF Jackson, living
in Warrentown, had shot and killed anoth-
er by the name of Brown For sometime
past Brown has been more attentive to
Jacksons wife than he (Jackson) liked. On
Sunday evening Brown came to Jackson's
house to attend Mrs Jackson to church.
Jackson informed Brown that if he per-
sisted in going with his wife to church he
would kill him. Brown needed not the
threat, but repaired to the church with the
woman. Jackson remained at home for a
awhile, meditating what to do, but becom-
ing more enraged each moment as he
thought of the unjust treatment he was re-
ceiving. At last he could endure it no
longer and loading an old shotgun pro-
ceeded to the church, entered, marched up
to Brown, and deliberately discharged the
gun. Brown received the full load, which
nearly cut the unfortunate man in two.
Jackson then left in double-quick time,
and up to this writing has not been ar
rested.
