friends in this community, and the
possessor Of those excellent traits

A jury of twelve men acquitted
Bafrere for shooting young
Buckeye Foolkes- III the trial
Barrere stated that the shooting
was an accident. He SAID that
he was walking down the street
with a pistol in his pocket when a
negro who passed him called his
attention to the fact that the
weapon was visible. He then took
the pistol out of his pocket and
held it in his hand when he went
into Durand's. Foolkes came along
and spoke to him, and in changing
his pistol from his right to his
left hand in order to shake hands
with Foolkes the weapon, in some
unexplainable way, went off. The
friends OF Foolkes don't seem to
put much faith in Barrere's testi.
mony; but the jury evidently did
for they acquitted him.

The case of Mr.. Albert Kohmann
who was charged with "shOoting
with intent to kilr' young Brady,
came up before court this week.
MIR. Kohmann was defended by
Mr.. l.. f. Sutton. The shooting
occurred several months ago. Mr..
Kohmann was in his buggy driv-
ing a horse that was afraid of
bicycles when young Brady who
was on a bicycle attempted to
pass. Mr.. Kohmann claims that
his horse became frightened and
he asked Brady to stop ringing
the bell of his bicycle; but that
Brady did not do so, when he,
Kohmann pulled out hispistol and
shot at Brady, more to scare him
than any thing else. The bullet
inflicted a painful wound. After
the shooting Mr.. Kohmann assis.
ted the wounded man in getting a
physician, sat up with him a part
ofthe night, and showed other evi.
dences that he regretted his deed.
Brady's evidence and that Of the
only witness to the shooting, "a
negro, differed in some respects
from Kohmanns. The jury evil
IDENTIFY believed the States witHes-
SEES and rendered a verdict OF
"guilty." Mr.. Kohmann has many
friends here who were deeply
panied to hear Of the trouble he is
in. He has lived here all Of his
life and has always been regarded
as a good-natured, peaceable
young man.
