BOY AND PISTOL.
Doctors Say the Lad He Wounded Will
 Recover. 9s

Decatur, July 23,-(Spedial.)-A pistol in the hands of Shote Garrett. a 15-year- old negro came near ending the life of Nose Jordan boy much younger than himself, late Monday night. The wound ed boy lies at the house of his old grand father on Mccartney street, this city, with 32-caliber bullet in his breast, yet is said by his physician to be dn fair way to recover. How the shooting oc- cured can be gathered in fragments of fact from the crowd of small boys who were present at the time. The best in formation obtainable confirms the belief that the boy (GarretD used the pistol in a bullying way to intimidate the crowd of Blttle boys playing in the street when he came up and that the weapon explod- ed without his intending to harm any of them. Garrett fled from the scene of the shooting and has not yet been arrested.

Is What the Jury Assessed in the Wilson Case.

Decatur, July -(Specia1.) 1.-The Nor gan county circuit court, now In session in this city, took it's criminal docket early in the present week, and has disposed of a number of small offenses. The case of the state ys. W. R. Wilson. charged with an assault with weapon, sent up from the magistrates court at Hartselle, Ala, has elcited a great deal of interest on account of the fact that the dispute which led to the stabbing arose bttween Wilson and a married man, William Evans, who attempted to interfere with Wilson's attentions to young lady, who has since become Wilson's wife, on the occasion of a bicycle meet at Hartse1le on July 30 last. On the occasion referred to Wilson stabbed Evans with a pocket knife, infiicting upon his person several more or less painful wounds, from which Evans soon recovered. The verdict against Wilson was assessed by the jury which tried him at cent damages.
