Horse Thief and Shoots Him.
Last night abou, II o'clock negro
named Judge Brown, living on the
farm Of Judge Galloway, near the poor
house, heard some one at his horse
stable, and seizing his gun, gently opened
the door, stepped out in the yard and hired
at what he took 20 be horse thief. The
shot did not miss its aim, and the man
fell TO the ground probably fatally
wounded. lie was not horse thief by
any means, but turned out TO bea Mr.. WIN.
Davis, white, also n tenant on the place,
and who lives in an adjoining house to the
negro who had done the shooting. Davis
had been in the city during the day, and
unfortunately drank too much liquor. lie
did not start for home until late, and IT
is supposed that in his bcfuddled
state. ke mistook tho negro's
stable for his own, when he attempted TO
stable his horse, and thereby aroused the
negro, who, under the impulse, fired the
shot that may cost his neighbor his life.
| The brothers OF the wounded man heard
the shot and fastened 10 the scene, direct
ed bv the groans OF the wounded man.
They took him TO his house, where IT was
found that the full charge Of shot from O
double. barrel gun had entered his right
side. The wounded man was still intoxi
Gated and suffered no little, His brothers
armed themselves and went TO the negro'i
house, evidently with the intention o
ayenging the bloody mistake, but the ne
gro was not to he found. last night Dayii
wasresting comparatively easy, and though
he will be confined 10 his bed for som'
time, it is not expected that the woun'
