A MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING SCARPE-
Two SHOTS FIRED AT CHARLEY Holy
FIELD.-Last Saturday night about
$50 o'clock, as Charley Holyfield
was passing down the north side of
Walnut street, he observed two men
following him on the south side of
the street. He gave them no atten-
ton, however, but when they reach
ed the corner of Front and Walnut
streets they lodged into George
Brands lot, and threw stone at
Mr.. Holyfeld. This missed the
mark but Mr.. Holyfield heard it
pass near, him. One of the men then
drew a revolver from his pocket and
fired two shots at Holyfield in rapid
succession. Neither shot took effect,
and Mr.. Holyfield hurried into the
house of his brother-in law (Mr.
Brand which was but a few yards
away. The moon was shining
brightly but Mr.. Holyfield was not
able to identify either of the men.
He is ON the track of one of them,
however, and has very good idea
who he is. He is of the opinion that
they followed him from the Nj. P.
church for the sole purpose of shoot
ing him down. The affair has ere
ated some sensation, and if the das-
tardly criminals are caught they
will be likely to feel the full force OF
the law
