r INTO A CROWD.
Abram Warner Hits James Morgan Near
the Heart.


Shortly after midnight on Saturday
night, Abram Warner and four other
men were in a saloon shooting at a
mark, and a quarrel arose. They were
ordered out, and on the street began to
fight again. All four were against
Warner, who finally drew a revolver
and fired into the crowd -four times.
One shot struck James Morgan almost
over the heart. The ball, which was Of
q 3S-calibre, fortunately struck a rib,
which it followed around to a point near
the shoulder blade. where it made its
exit. Warner made his escape from the
crowd and wandered about the streets
for two or three hours, when he was
arrested on Main street. nearly opposite
James saloon, by Office Delaney.
The defendant was given a hearing
before Squire Powell and in default Of
$1,000 bail was sent to Jail. At the hear
ing he showed the effects of hard fight
ing, as he bore several cuts and bruises
and his shirt and other clothing were
besmeared with blood.
Warner is a printer by trade and
came here recently from the west. He
is thity years of age and his father lives
at 1863 North Main street, this city. He
talked freely about the affair and said
he told them that If they hit him he
would shoot, and did so. Morgan will
recove unless blood poisoning sets in.
