Probable Homicide In Chattanooga.

Probable Homicide In Chattanooga.
DR.. John Bailey shot and perhaps mortal
ly wounded Charles Marsh in Chattanooga,
Monday. Both were well known and re-
spected citizens, the former a practicing
physician, the latter an ex-poiceman and a
carpenter. The cause and particulars of
the shooting are given in the Times, as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Marsh had dispute
about the erection by DR.. Bailey of a high
fence between the lots, which was taken up
by their husbands. Yesterday morning Dr.
Bailey, while going home from his Office,
met Mr.. Marsh, when fight ensued, which
was interrupted by the by-standers, who
separated the combatants. They again COM
menced quarreling, and again ''cinched"
in hand to hand fight, which was again
interrupted, when Marsh commenced
throwing rocks at Dr. Bailey, who retail
ated by shooting at his opponent with a
small pistol carrying a No. 80 ball. Mr..
Marsh was shot in the back near the left
shoulder blade, about q inches from the
spine, into or through the left lung, making
o dangerous if not fatal wound. Yesterday
MIR. Marsh was suffering with hemorrhage
DR.. Bailey was arrested as he was in the
act of coming in to deliver himself to the
proper ofic ais. He was conducted before
Squire Headrick, and waving examination
was required to give bond in the sum of
1000 to appear before the circuit court,
which is now in session. The required
bond was promptly furnished and the de-
PENDANT released from custody.

Fire in Jefferson Ounty.

Deputy q. S. Marshal J. L. Lewis in
forms us that as he was returning to Messy
Creek with his prisoners Monday night, he
discovered where dwelling house, belong
ing to Mr.. Newman, was totally destroyed
by fire. He could not learn which Newman
it was. The house was located, however,
three miles east of Messy Creek, and the
gentleman to whom it belonged had
been married two or three years
to a granddaughter of Mr.. L. l..
Lawrence. Lewis saw no one at all about
the place, and he could not ascertain wheth-
er the family had escaped or were not at
home, and nothing further as to the fire.
We were unable yesterday to obtain any
thing additional.
