Shooting Stops
The Douthit Trial.

In dispensary circles yesterday the
pricipsl actors in the recent upheaval
which has led to the shedding of
blood at Sellers, seemed to think OF
nothing else but that unfortunate oc
curranoe. and further news from the
scene of the battle was auxiously
awaited. Az soon as the news of the
sffsir was made public It was pretty
we'll understood that the affair meant
. postponment of the trial of the
Douthit case until some future date,
% only four members of the State
board could be present to hear the case
and in case of . division among them
could lead only to Q deadlock Be
sides. Mr.. Haselden 90 chairman of
the special investigating committee
was really the prosecutor, and the
csse could hardly have proceeded
without him. He was shot through
the leg. and no matter how slight the
wocnd it was realized that it would
be impossible for him to come to
Columbis under Q week at leaet
The board was to meet at 4 o'clock
to take upthe case, but before dinner
it was known that . postponement
would result. In the meantime every
one snxiously inquired for further
news from Sellers. The only infor.
nation to reach the city came in the
form Of telegram from Mr. Hasel
den himself to Chairman Miles cay.
log that be could not come to Colum.
bia at present and stating that he
would, write the chairman last night.
When the board met at the 90.
pointed hour the situation was talked
over. and il was determined to post.
pone the whole matter until Dec 6,
which will be during tho next regu.
lsr meeting Chairman Miles was
instructed to communicate with Mr..
Hsselden in the meantime and ascer.
tain when he could be hero If Mr..
Hsselden cannot be on hand Dec 6,
then further postponement will be
bad until be can be present.
The board, after taking action
looking to the immediate removal of
the office Of Constsbulary Clerk
Harris to the State dispenssry. sd.
Public opinion as to the effect of
the blood letting at Sellers on the
dispenssry situation is much divided,
though there are none who believe
that il had done the institution, its
management or the men concerned in
it any good On all sides the affair
is much dsplored. Many expressed
surprise that the shooting should
have taken place at Sellers and that
the participants should be who they
were State, Nov l6.

day was that one OF the men at Ma
