=. fAthens Banner: ~. Mathews Of Madi-
son county, was in the city riday. and he in
formed q Banner reporter of a shooting scrape
that occurred near John Mathews stlllhouse
in Madison county on Wednesday evening. 1t
seems that Jasper Watkins got into dispute
with Berry Watkins, which resulted in a
rather serious difficulty. Both parties were
somewhat under the influence Of strong drink
and were therefore very reckless. Jasper
Watkins received two wounds, one in the
face, on or above the nose. and the other in the
shoulder. Mr.. Mathews informed us that the
wounded man was taken home and received
prompt medical attention. The wound in the
face was quite severe, and as the probing was
being done 1t was so painful and exhausting
that the doctor had to desist. Mr.. Mathews
said il was not known really how bad the
wound was, but it was thought to
be OF very grave character. Athens
readers will remember that Jasper Wat
kins, the wounded man. is the person who
shot and killed Meredith Marlborough near
Athens several years ago. There were some
extenuating circumstances connected with
the killing Of Nar0orough, and only short
time m the penitentiary was imposed He
has been living in the vicinity of Athens for
several years.
