r 8. Harris, a merchant residing at sne
crossroads. Not finding any one at home.
he was on the point OF leaving. when
his attention was attracted py an oid ac-
ouaintance of his. 8. Howard Shields. by
name coming round the fence with a

OF one barrel of the gun. Moreland then
Jumped out OF his buggy. and got MS

head with the buckshot, his cap being
completely riddled. OIly two OF the shot

one Of the shot lodged In his wrist pro-
ducing very painful wounds. his cohui-
