"Toothache, sah," replied the hus-
band. "She's had it nigh upon a week,

Lindsay shot and fatally wounded
W. D.. James, foreman of the farm at
this place yesterday. The shooting
occurred at the stockade, where the
convicts of whom Lindsey is in charge
are domociled. The shooting occur
red at about 2 o'clock. There has
been bad feeling between the two men
for some time, occasioned, it is said, by
difference of opinion in regard to the
management and disposition of the
convict labor. lean say that I know
the convicts are well provided for,
and they themselves seem to appreci-
ate the fact. 1t seems that on Sun
day last there were some words ex-
changed between the two men during
the course of which James re-
marked that he Gindsey) had report
ed him (James) to the authorities, and
that he would get even with him.
Lindsey remarked that he had report
ed him and that he did not wish to
have any disturbance about the matter.
After few more words they parted.
Yesterday at about 2 o'clock James
wentto the stockade and during alter
cation brought on by his using some
abusive language, was shot three
times; once in the abdomen and twice
in the head. This is the testimony of
the only eyewitness "a convict.) Lind.
sey was sitting in chair in his office
when the quarrel first commenced and
arose to meet James, who advanced up
on him from the door. 1t was just as
James entered that the shooting be
gan. Lindsey Immediately after the
shooting surrendered himself to Sher-
itf Douthit Of this county, who nap
pened to be on a visit to the college.
James wounds are fatal He is now
suffering from peritonits and the ind
is near. Both are men of families and
the affair has been a source of deep re-
gret to the authorities and the inhab-
itants in general. James died at 7:13
