Isaac Young, the colored man, the
shooting Of whom we announced last
week, is not dead yet, and there is no
probability Of his dying of the wound.
He was walking along the road, in the
rain with an umbrella over him, going
home, about three miles east OF here in
the prairie, when five colored men ap-
preached him, one Of whom fired twice
at him with a pistol, the second shot
striking him on the forehead just above
the left cerner of the left eye, the ball
going threugh two thicknesses OF his
hat-rim and crown,-entering the skin,
angling upwards, scaling Oft piece OF
the skull, and coming out at the top
OF the head. He fell with his head in
the umbrella, which closed on him. In
this condition he lay in the rain all
night, bleeding ,profusely, and insen-
sible or unable to get up. The robbers
and would be murderers rifed his peck
cts. cut his saddle bags to pieces, and
took his pocket knife and what money
he had-some thirty or forty dollars.
The shooting took place at about eight
o'clock in the evening. Next morning
sop,e women in passing were attracted
by seeing the umbrella bobbing mp and
down, caused by the man making efforts
ID rise. They first thought he was
drunk, but on going to his assistance
thew discovered their error. He was
taken to neighboring house, where ne
now is. Either from delirium caused
by the wound, Or from cunning, he
talks foolishly, and cannot, or will not
for fear of being killed, divulge the
names of those who attempted to kill
him. He says they are colored, and
fye in number; and it is believed ne
knows their names.
