A NEGRO SERIOUSLY HURT
George DuttOn Of Newark Shot in the
Face by Tom LOber.
WOUNDED WHILE INTOXICATED
The Ball Probably lmbedded
in His Neck.

Special Carrespondenceo Gazette and journal
Newark, June |. Saturday after
noon. between and O'Clock, Tom
Lober, colored, shot George Dutton,
also colored, inflicting serious
wound. The shooting occurred in
Saunders s. James store, up the Row,
where most of the coored people of the
town reside. The store is kept by
Colored men.
Dutton bears bad reputation. He
is quarfolsome and evil-disposed and is
considered dangerous. 1t is but a week
or 10 DAYS since he was released from
New Castle Jail, where he was com
mitted by Squire Dean on charge of
drawing knife and threatening to
stab q colored man named Blackiston.
Lober has been considered hitherto a
peaceable and we'll -hehaved man.
Lober and Dutton, both of whom
had been celebrating Decoration Day
by drinking more than was good for
them, got into an alteration and in
dulgcd in ugly threats. Dutton went
off, saying that be. would settle" with
Lober when he g& back. lie went to
store, bought pistol and loaded it.
Returning, he came upon Lober in the
street and fired at him. His aim was
bad and seeing that he had missed his
man and that Lober, instead of run.
ming from him, was drawing his pistol
to return the fire Button ran into
Saunders 4 James store. Lober fol-
lowed him and shot him in the face.
After receiving the wound Button
walked to DR.. IIenry's Office, dis
lance Of half mile, to seek surgical
aid. Blood was trckling down his
face and through his fingers whore he
was holding his hand over the wound ;
but, Notwithstanding the serious
character of his injury, he walked
steadily and gave no Indication Of
being much hurt. DIR. Henry probed
for the ball and followed it for four
inches through bone and tissue with
out being able to locate it, The ball
cut the wing of the injured man s nose
and then entered his face about an
inch below the right eye. Ranging
horizontally, and little to the right.
it passed entirely through the bones of
the face and is probably embedded
somewhere in the muscles of the neck,
near the ceryical vertibrae. After the
examination and treatment Of his
wound Dltton walked away from DIR.
Henry's Office.
