SHOOTING ARRAY.
VIM. Il. BARTON SHOOTS LAW
RENEE ROBERTSON.

A serious difficulty occurred Monday
day morning, above the Obion bridge in
this county, between w. L. Barton and
Lawrence Robertson, in which Robertson
was very seriously and perhaps danger
ously wounded. The difficulty grew
up about some hogs. Robertson had
taken the hogs from the range and had
them in a lot Barton identified the
hogs and claimed them as his own, and
this Robertson disputed and refused to
give them up. Barton left, saying how
ever that he intended to seek the help
of officers to take the hogs by law.
Robertson followed him and hot words
passed, and it is said that Robertson
was advancing on Barton with drawn
knife. when Barton shot him.
Barton came to Hickman and gave
himself up to Deputy Sheriff Carpenter.
He was admitted TO bail in the sum of
81 200. 90 and his examining trial set for
next Wednesday. Robertson was much
better at last reports and will get well.
