SHOOTING AFFRAY.-On Saturday af-
ternoon, DIR. W. S. Hoy, while under
the influence of intoxicants, went to the
home of Julia Huskins, (colored.) and
after some words with her, pulled pis-
toll and shot her, the bullet taking effect
in her breast and coming out under her
shoulder. Immediately after being shot
she ran to Drs. Barbee & Mossman's of
fee. where she received surgical. treat
ment- Dr. Hoy was promptly arrest
ed aud taken to Jail. On Monday he
WAS brought out for preliminary exami-
nation, and hoped to give bail, which he
could have readily done; but the woun-
ded woman growing so much worse, he
was remanded back to await the result
of his rash act. Monday morning her
anti-mortem statement was taken, but
we have not read it, and, therefore, do
not know what she stated. 1t is a bad
affair all around, and we withhold much
that might be told, on account of his wife,
and his family connection, rather pre-
ferring to leave it with the trial of the.
cause, when all the facts will be brought
out. We could not comment on the
shooting without prejudicing the case.-
Many of the Doctors friends, think,
That since his suspension from the PEN
sion Board in this place, he has brooded
over the matter until he has become in
sane.
Since the above was put in type the
wounded girl died, death occurring at
about J O'Clock Monday afternoon. As
we go to press post mortcn examination
is being made. and an inquest being
held over the body.
