"A FUSILADE OF SHOTS.

Augusta Chronicle.
Yesterday afternoon between the
hours of 2 and 8 bloody encoun-
ter occurred over in Hamburg, in
which three we'll known parties In
Augusta were wounded, one proba-
bly, fatally, and the other two very
painfully.
It amounted to regular pitched
battle and round after round was
exchanged on both sides, and the
firing only ceased when the am
munition gave out.
The participants in this minia-
ture battle were Messrs. Joseph
Pettyjohn, William P. Pettyjohn,
and Joseph Pettyjohn, Jr., afather
and two sons on one side, and Mr..
Tom Butler on the other.

old, with gun in hand stood arount
the corner of an old house abou
thirty or forty yards from Butle
and Mr.. Pettyjohn stood in th'
middle of the road.
THICK AND FAST.
Each one of the Pettyjohn part,
had a double barrelled gun and {
pistol apiece and Butler had agur
of the same kind and self-actins
revolver of the latest make.
Itwas claimed by number who
witnessed the fight that Mrs
Pettyjohn also used a pistol, but
this has been positively and stoutly
denied.
Just as Mr.. Pettyjohn utjumped
of the drag Mrs. Pettyjohn was
heard to tell her husband and sons
to stand their ground or words to
that effect.
After the first round was fired
itwas hard to tell how may shots
were fired afterward as all hands
loaded their weapons and fired as
rapidly as possible from their re-
spective positions.
During the first round Will
Pettyjohn was shot in the arm and
during the second in The region
of the abdomen and it was then
that Mr.. Pettyjohn was wonded in
in the foot.
After about fifteen shots had
been fired Buffers ammunition was
exhauted and he was forced to
heat a retreat into the saloon
where he again loaded his gun.
Mr.. Pettyjohn followed him into
the bar and just as he got into the
room they both fired Simultaneous
ly, being only about five feet apart.
Mr.. Pettyjohn received the whole
contents Of Buffers gun in his ab-
domen which jerked him around
and caused him TO discharge his
gun upward. the shot striking the
ceiling.
Butler while loading his gun
again stepped back into a passage
way which led out into the yard
and partially closed the door be-
hind him.
They both fred in this position.
Ms Mont Rstt F5s5M ahd MI. 85urrsr IN the be-
hall or passage way.
Buffers gun was discharged up
ward and the shot grazed the side
Of his opponents head, causing a
flesh wound.
The door swung to just as Mr..
Pettyjohn fired and the contents
of his gun passed through it and
struck Mr.. Butler il the face, neck,
and chest.
About this time Mr.. William
Shinall was able to get a hold on
Mr.. Pettyjohn and pushing hin, him
out into the street he called to Will
who was advancing not to shoot
again, but to get the drag ready
and take his father to town as he
was very badly shot.
A PLUcKY DRIVE.
The drag was brought up and
Mr.. Pettyjohn and Will, although
both badly wounded, got in and
the party drove to Augusta. Mr..
Pettyjohn doing tho driving.
Both Mr.. Pettyjohn and Will
were very weak from loss of blood
and when they drove up to the
hotel they both had to be assisted
to their rooms.
Young Joe Pettyjohn was the
only one OF Ln6 lQur Iueu WIZ o.
capped without wound.
Drs. Wright and Ford were al
once called in and Immediately
act to work dressing the many
wounds of the two PettYjohn's
which occupied considerable time
as several of them were very Sc
rious ones and had to be handled
very skillfully.
Mr.. Butler after the shooting re
NAMED around the scene for SOM
little time and then drove to nj

where his wounds were dressed.

dead earnest, for all four of the
parties started to firing as rapidly
as they possibly could.
Butler jumped behind a large
tree which stands just in front of
the saloon; Will Pettyjohn protec-
ted himself behind the pillars Of
the trestle; young Joe Pettyjohn
who isnot more than fifteen years
old, with gun in hand stood around
the corner of an old house about
thirty or forty yards from Butler
and Mr.. Pettyjohn stood in the
of the road,

HOW IT HAPPENED.

It seems that Mr.. Pettyjohn, his
two sons, and Mrs. Pettyjohn were
driving toward Augusta after pay
ing a visit to their farm, a short
distance from North Augusta, and
Just as they crossed under the
Richmond and Danville railroad
trestle on the main street in Ham
burg they saw Mr.. Butler, who was
sitting in a chair in front Of Mr..
William Shinall's saloon, with his
double barrel shot gun leaning up
against the side Of the house.
Mr.. Butler about that time recog-
nized the Pettyiohn party and got
up and reached for his gun. In
the mean time Mr.. Pettyjohn and
Mrs. Pettyjohn and the two boys
jumped out Of the buggy.
Mr.. Pettyjohn thinking that
trouble was going to ensue led the
horse down into an open lot out OF
the range Of the bullets.
Butler then fred the first shot
at Mr. Pettyjohn, which was the
signal for the fusilade to com
mence, and it did commence il
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1893-06-01

and two sons on one side, and Mr..
Tom Butler on the other.
THE WOUNDED.
Mr.. Joseph Pettyjohn is now
lying in his room at the Arlington
Hotel fatally wounded, having re-
ceiyed three wounds, one in the
right foot, which is more painful
than serious, another on the left
side of the head, just above the
sSa1a Ss5 5hsh oh1y bfssR9hg siRRE he slaRfs srR
and a third in the abdomen q little
above the right hip.
The wound in the abdomen is
the only serious one that he re-
ceived and the physicians are ex-
tremely apprehensive that it may
prove fatal, as quite a number OF
shot entered and they were afraid
to probe the wound on account of
Mr.. Pettyjohn being i'll such a
weakened condition.
Will Pettyjohn was very badly
shot, receiving five wounds in all,
but none of them necessarily OF a
fatal nature. Two were on the
right arm, one above the elbow,
and another about the wrist, the
third was on the right leg, a little
above the knee, the fourth and
fifth were flesh wounds, just below
the abdomen, and of a most pain
full nature.
Mr.. Tom Butler was badly pep
pered about the face, neck, anc
chest, and his right hand was fear
fully mangled, some seven or eigh
balls having lodged in it.
The wounds in the face, neck
and chest were merely fesl
wounds, and it will simply be
matter of few days when the.
will have healed. Several of tn
balls were extracted, but ther
remains quite number whicl
will be removed when the wound
tester.
After counting them all it wa
found that Mr.. Butler had receive
twenty-four shot in his face, hane
neck, and chest.
The shot we're size larger tina
, the ordinary bird shot, and caus
a very Dainful wound.

what purports to be an official report OF
the autopsy on the body of the late
Baron Reinach, who was suspected Of
having committed suicide in order to
escape trial on charges Of fraud and
swindling in connection with the Pan

were no marks Of Ytolenceyon the body,
and it was impossible to assert that
death was due TO syncope. The analysis
did not reveal poison. The officers who
were engaged in the original and subse.
