SHOOTING AT WHEATLAND.-The
usually quiet and peaceful commu-
nifty of Wheatland was reused from
It's normal state Of repose Monday
evening, by an occurrence which
falls but little short of furnishing all
necessary chapters for bloody trag.
edy. The principal participants in
the affair were John w. Smith and
John Ed Brooks. Smith is farmer
by occupation, about thirty.five or
forty years of age, and has Il wife
and three or four children. He bears
the reputation of quiet, inoffensive
and industrious man, and his fam
lily is well respected in the neigh
borhood. Brooks had been in his
employ some time as farm hand,
and during this time some difficulty
had arisen between Smith and his
wife, such as unhppily sometimes
occurs between persons not fortified
by the prOfoundsst wisdom, which
led to a temporary separation.
1t is alleged that Brooks
drew his revolver and shot first, but
that is matter for the court to de-
termine. Being in close quarters,
clinch followed, and Brooks was
either thrown or knocked down,
and Smith, with blood streaming
fnom his own scalp, proceeded at
bis leisure to put some finishing
touches upon an already disfgured
countenance. Whatever state of
facts judicial inquiry may develop,
public sympathy ls strongly on
the side of Smith, the general ver-
dict being that Brooks got about
what he deserved.-McM. Reporter.

patronage before a compliment of
vacant seats. Harry Brown as "Rip

night will be the best given by the

dates have been preserved. II requested the

of 1872, the date of their organization, which
Any Information concerning this old church
will be highly appreciated and will add an
interesting Item 10 our history as u people OF
God. Fraternally,
p. S. We have recently understood that
our brethren of the A. Il. Presbyterian
church have had some little trouble about
the lot Of land on which the Bethlehem Bap-
tist Church stood, which was more familiarly
known as Groggy Springs. The trouble
arose about the titles OF the land. The fol-
lowing may De helpful, viz, the Bethlehem
Baptist Church was constituted in 1888 and by
mutual consent was dissolved in 1854. This Is
historically true. We also have positive
and distinct recollection that the late Rev. A.
Rice, who often preached at the church, told
us In 1869 that the Baptist had no legal claims
To that Iand-that he had investigated the
matter satisfactorily. w. II. X.
