Moorshiners.

As the result of cowardly and
dastardly attempt upon his life, Mr..
Scott Shadrick. of Youngsville, lies at
the Rex Hospital dangerously wound
ed, and with the sight Of one of his
eyes probably lost.
The names of the ones who attempt
ed the deed are not known but there
is Il strong slue to their identity.
The attempt was one of the most
cowardly proceedings that has ever
taken place in the State. It's perpetra-
tors were determined to have Shad-
rick's life at all hazards and shot him
down while he was attempting to eX-
tinguish the flames which they had
ruthlessly applied to his home.
From the effects of his wounds he
has lost the sight of one eye; and
there are probably seventy-five shot in
his body. His assailants fired at him
four times, and he says, he received
the contents of the gun twice.
The assault took place night before
last about / o'clock. The men plac-
ed fodder under Shadricl>s house and
set it on fire. Shadrick came to the
door to investigate, and was shot by
the men outside. One shot entered
his left eve and others his head, and
some entered his shoulder The men
fired four times. and Shadrick says
that their shots took effect twice. The
last shot took effect in his legs below
the knees. The guns were loaded with
small shot oreles he would have been
killed instantly.
After the shooting his wife went out
and pulled the burning fodder from
under the house, but the men paid no
attention to her. She saw them I'M
der some peach trees in the yard and
heard them talk but did not recog
nize any of them. Shadricl says he
is confident he would have known
them had he not been blinded by the
first shot

by Revenue officers about the first of
June and it was said that Shadrick
Informed" the officers of its exist
ence and locality. 1t is supposed that
the proprietors of the still were of this
opinion and that they made this at
tack upon Shadl'ick for revenge.
He is brother of Robt Shadrick,
who works in the Pilot cotton Mills
at this place.
At Il late hour last night it was
learned that his wounds are not con
sidered very dangerous, and that he
was resting easy. His wife is expect
ed here today.

AN ESTEEMED MAN.

Gilbert Bush, who died in North Branford recently, was an old and val ued Branford citizen. Born June 20, 1874, he inherited that patriotism which so universally marked that generation, and of whom but a few now remain among us. He was married in early life to Hermoine, daughter of the late Hon. Malachi Cooke of Wallingford, to whom a family of five children was born, three of whom are now remain ing, one son and two daughters-T. c. Bush, Mrs Augusta Underwood and Mrs. Emily Griffin. After fifty years of married life his wife died and left him in declining years and falling sight, which eventually resulted in to- tai blindness and yet hardly ever was he heard to murmur at this sad affllic- tion.
 He was known by all as a man of high principles and of firm, decided character, and will be sadly missed by those who knew him best. His death occurred at the residence of his daugh- ter, Mrs. Underwood in North Bran ford.
