AS AFFR4Y ar F0RT H4MILToN

A serious aud possibly fatal ARRAY occurred yes
terday morning near Fort Hamilton, in the town Of
New-u.recht L. |. John Kelly, age fifty was shot
in the neck by Patrick Kilbride, age thtrty-nlne.
The circumstances were as follows Kelly and Kill
bride are neghbOrs in the little hamlet
Of Irishtown, near the Fort. The former is a
sober, industrious, law-ablding person; his
neighbor is the opposite. On Saturday night Kill
BRIDE was beating his wife. which he had done be-
fore and recently was imprisoned for, and Kelly,
hearing her cries. went and demonstrated with
him. This angered the brutal husband and he
vowed revenge by shooting the interferer. About
o o'clock yesterday morning as Kelly was walking
down his yaTd, he received the contents of a shot
gun, loaded with No shot, IN the left
side of his neck. The charge blew OFF a
portion of his cheek and injured his
lett eye. The wound, il is feared, may
prove fatal Two men arrested KilbrIde and
started to take him before Justice Church. On
the way the prisoners son, age eighteen, threw q
stone. striking one of the the head and
KNOCKING him down the other then ran away, and
KIbride escaped. A warrant was made out by JUS
tice Church, and word was sent TO Brooklyn THAI
Kilbrde was likely 10 visit friend, james Shields,
at No 80 Hall-st. Lookout was kept for him last
night. Kelly has a wife and several children, and
5 in Government employ on Governors Island.
