SHOOTING AT FoREsTvIIAE.
A Negro Shot by a White Man at a
Negro Dance.

There is negro manned Henry Wall
lying ait the point of death i'm Forestyille.
A pistol ball Saturday night ploughed it's
way into his stomach and lodged
there. The pistol that fired the shot was
in the hands of white man named John
Grove.
So far accounts agree, then they divergs
very widely, so widely that Ut as 10 be
doubted if either one is the whole truth
Negroes from Forestvile here yester-
day were very much wrought up over the
affair and here Us the story they told:
Wallis wife is very pretty woman.
Grove has been suspected of being on in
inmate terms with her. Wall suspected
her and had made threats as 10 what he
would do il he found his suspicious true.
Saturday night his wife went TO a
dance at the house Of a neighbor manned
Turner. Wall went later. Arriving
there about 8 o'clock he found Grove
skulking around the house. soon Grove
came to the door and he and Wall had
some words, Wall telling him he had no
business ait a negro dance, and ordering
HIM away, Grove invited hlm outside.
Wall went out and soon a pistol hred,
fin tally wounding him. Grove swore that
he would kill the first man that put hands
ON him and said he would never be taken
alive.
That lis the story Wallis friends told me
Yesterday morning, when the officers were
going off ON the train to arrest Grove
In the afternoon they returned BRING
ing Grove, handcuffed and looking meek
enough, with heavy woollen blanket
over his shoulders. He is a man about
80 years old. He had on has overalls and
was arrested while working near Forest
vile as a section hand. Contrary 10
what THE negroes had led the officers TO
expect he did not resist arrest, and mad
no weapon ON his person when taken. de
safd he had only acted In self-deremse
when surrounded by insolent negroes, and
was ready TO give himself up.
On his arrival here he was taken TO
Justice Roberts office and committed 20
iail In default of $500 bond.
His story rs very different from that Of
the negroes. He says he was ON his way
| home and passing by Turner's he stopped
at the door to peep in upon the dance, as
a matter of curiosity. Turner Tnselently
asked him his business there, and then
/ Wall took up the matter and ordered him
| to leave the premises. He refused and
| Wall grew more insolent. Thereupon
he asked the negro out of the house 10
| settle the natter. Wall came out and fol-
/ lowed him behind the house. Warm
words passed and Wall made a motion
! AZ if to draw his pistol. whereupon Grove
drew his and shot him.
| These are the two stories. LIT With DC
| for the court and jury to decide which is
| the true one. Wall - not expected to
recover. The ball is still in his stomach,
though it has been probed for. 1t wa
have 10 he cut oHt.
| lie WAL dies Grove will, of course
have no be tried for murder. Ii he re
! covers he will simply answer to o charge
Of assault with q deadly weapon.

Nearly all fertilizer manufacturers do
