JUSTIFIABLE HoMICIDEs
A Shooting scrape Between Tive
White Men.

Ocilla, March "A man by the name
of Furlong shot another by the name of
Schaffer here yesterday. The shooting oc-
Cured on one of the principal streets of
the town about IL o'clock a. m. 1t seems
that it was occasioned by a difficulty in
their bedroom the night before, in which
Shaffer threatened Furlong with razor.
This morning they renewed the trouble.
The opinion of those conversant with the
circumstances is that Futlong was in the
right. Schaffer is not dead at last ac-
counts. One ball entered the stomach,
another the mouth. Both parties are
white and have beer employed by the
Mill Company here.
