tion reaches here from Delaware Beud OF
a shooting scrapo which occurred near
there on last Saturday, IN which young
man by the name Of Mcdaniel was shot
and probably fatally injured. II seems
that Mcdaniel and another man, who
were employed TO work on the farm Of
Trigg Strother, had quarrel on Satur-
day morning, which fact was reported 10
Strother together with the statement
that young Mcdaniel had threatened
Strother's life, STROLLER, armlng him
self with slx-shooler, imme.
diatcly repaired TO the farm,
where he found Mcdaniel at work. The
latter, when questioned by Struther, de-
MED that he had made any such threats,
aud reached behind him TO get his hand
kerchief fro m his pocket, when Strothcr
opened fire, the ball striking Mcdaniel IN
the left breast. The latter, as soon as he
received the shot, broke and ran, with
Strother In close pursuit Being unable
to catch him on foot, Strother procured q
horse aud followed some dis
lance, when he found the wounded man
! lying down. Drawing his pistol he iired
two more shots, both OF which took
effect, and then left young Mcdaniel iol
/ dead. StrothGr then rode 20 Cor
donyille and surrendered TO Esquire
! Crump, and was released on $500 bond
for his appearance at some future day
AT last accounts Mcdaniel was still alive
but his wounds were regarded as neces
sarliy fatal.
