An Old NInrder nnaa-

LoNavIEw, June s. S.-lSpecial. l. The
preliminary trial of Augustus Shaw, for
the murder of Bill Hampton, ON Sep
tember 25, 1876, in Gladewator, was
called to-day and Shaw was admitted to
$4,000 bail to appear at the July term of
the District Court at this place. As the
particulars OF the killing have passed
out Of the mind Of the public, an account
might be interesting. IL appears Shaw
owed Hampton some money after a set-
tlement, provided Hampton fnished a
certain job of work, amounting TO about
50 In all; but Hampton didn't finish the
work, and Shaw, being very timid
man and afraid OF Hampton, got VIM.
Thompson TO settle with Hampton,
and Thompson decided In favor
OF Shaw. But Hampton, relying upon
Shaw's timidity, tried to force him to
settle, by threats of whipping him,
and some say threats TO kill him. Shaw
absented himself from the streets some
time, but finally put on his oyercoat
with his pistol in the pocket
and vontured down town, where
upon Hampton asked for settle
ment and took Shaw by the coat. Shaw
drew his pistol and fired, fatally wound
Ing Hampton, who started 10 run, Shaw
firing wildly after him, shooting me-
gro In the hip and knocking spllnters
over bystander, who barely escaped a
shot that must have killed him but for
the timely removal OF his body. Public
opinion iavors Shaw, who is described
~ most inofiensive man, but friends
OF Hampton say the trial will 40 much
harder against him when all the evil
dence is taken. They openly denounco
the allowing him bail.
