Ing The Next Term of Court.


Everett Williams, the escaped work
house bird and walking arsenal, was
given hearing before Mayor Peay this
morning, and was bound over to court
on two charges, one for shooting Henry
LYON, in which case the bond was liked
at two hundred dollars, the other was
for larceny, and in that case bond was
fixed at $50. He was unable to give
bond and is in Jail. On the examlna
ton this morning he claimed that the
negroes threw stones at him, and thus
provoked him to shoot at the crowd, and
thus wound Lyon, but his statement was
not supported by any evidence, and IL
appeared that the shooting was purely
wilful. The wound received by Lyon Is
not serious, as the ball passed through
the flesh and did 10 damage Of account
