 There was another negro shooting in Dallas county today, this time a negro woman empties g shotgun at the man who had mistreated her.

He struck her on the head and cut her in the side, when the woman, no longer able to endure his attack, grabbed up a shotgun and fred
 The load ploughed through the negro's right cheek, carrying with it his right eye, but though the whole side of his face seems to be shot off, it is not thought his wound will prove fatal.
 Walker sought the assistance of a doctor while Margaret came to the city and gave herself up.
 Another Disturbance
 Last night there came very near being a killing, only the negro's faulty aim of his pistol preventing it.
