A Curious Affair.

Between twelve and one O'Clock last
Wednesday morning the dwelling of
Mr.. John Z. Langston, in this city was
entered. Ladies occupying the house,
hearing a noise gave alarm and Mr..
Clarence Babb residing opposite and
neal came to their relief. Finding a
party or parties leaving the residence.
Mr.. Babb gave pursuit and the party be-
ing halted and failing to stop, Mr.. Babb
fired his pistol. 1t turned out to be
Mr.. Charles Sullivan, a young man of
good character and we'll connected.
Mr.. Babb's pistol had taken effect in
the thigh. The ball was subsequently
extracted, and young Mr.. Sullivan is
not seriously hurt. Mr.. Sullivan is un-
able or declines to give the names of
parties supposed to have been with him.
1t is claimed that he was in liquor at
the time. MIR. Babb deserves credit
for his plucky pursuit and it is sim
cerely hoped that the young man, who
has hitherto borne a good character,
will be able to explain his conduct.
