 On Monday afternoon, while coming in from hIS mine near Oak Spring, Lyman Woods was shot at by person shum he does not know He says that when coming down a cutoff trail back of Ruggeustroh's ranch in Miami flat, he noticed man dressed in dark clothes, walking along the trail at the foot Of the hill Shortly after obsery- ing this man, he saw another one without d coat on, running rapidly toward the other man, who had turned to the right at the foot of the hill, while Woods turned to the left The brush being quite thick in that  vicinity, he could not see either of the men only at intervals; but in an open space he saw the man in shirt sleeves suddenly stop, and then run through the brush toward hith, being directly opposite to the direction the man had been running. At this time Woods was galloping his horse and could hear the man running through the brush, and just as he passed behind large clump of bushes shot was fired and bullet whistled near his head. He thought for mo- ment that he might have been hit, but did not stop to investigate, for his horse seemed to think something was wrong, too, and commenced hit ting only the high places, for fully a mile. Mr Woods looked back several times but saw nothing further. His impression was at the time that 1t was some crazy man, and on his re- turn to town notified Sheriff ThOmp- son who went to the fiat, but found no one in the vicinity. The singular circumstance is still mystery.
