 Messrs. Young and Smith, to- gether with their ia 5her-in law, Mr. ". c. Goode. live in the same resi- dence on West Fourth avenue, near the compress.
 Young and Smith quarrelled over some rent. Hot words were passed and Smith went into Young's room and the fight star ed. During the fracas Smith pulled his pistol, and after pounding the handle of same over ! oung's head for several min utes, succeeded in fellng him
 During the fight the revolver was discharged and the ball entered the let leg of MT. ". c. Goode, the.r fathe--in-law, who was entering tt room at the time. Mir. Goode was doubtless going to separate the men when the stray bullet struck him.
 He is very badly injured and whether or not the would will prove fatal has not as yet been an nounced by the attending physician. Mir. Young is very much battered up and is unable to be moved by the police. His wounds will not prove fatal
 Mir. Young was recently pre- noted to the management of the Postal office at Dallas, Texas. He was taken i'll and cane here on a visit to his family. He was iu a very weak state when attacked by Smith, and was therefore unable to d fend himself.
