Shot by His NeigtbOr.

On Saturday last most unfortunate
T shooting occurred in the neighborhood
oiSandy River, this county. Alpheus
= OZARK, respectable negro, received "a
( painful, though not dangerous gun
shot wound, inflicted 10y his nearest
neightor and long Mr..
Robert jenkins. Several days before
the shooting occurred, for the first time
IN heir lives, Jenkins and Clark had
mad some trouble about the cattle Of
jenkins getting in Clark's cornheld,
but this was amicably settled by the
payment Of damages.
No bad blood from this circumstance
seemed to have been engendered.
Saturday jenkins with his two grown /
sons, Emmett and Willie, were out
hunting and went across Clark's |
plantation up 10 his house. the object
being to get pair Of shoes which had
been half-soed 10y Clark for Emmett
jenkins. The shoes were not half
sOled To Emmett's satisfaction and he
demanded the price Of them, $40, say
ing Clark could keep them. While
this was being discussed, CIark's wife
appeared upon the scene, put IN lot
OF words and referred in bad temper
ana tone to the cattle.trespassing affair,
ana also to Alpheus being alluded TO !
10y one Of the Jenkins as being mig.
ger" |
All the while this dispute over the
shoes was gong on Robert Jenkins and =
William, his son, were standing by, the u
'ormer having under his arm a single U
)arrel breech loading shot gun. Clark. a
I Is said, threw the shoes at one Of the ,
party, striking Emmett Jenkins in the "
ace, and at the same time grabbed -
or the gun. He was showed aside bv ~
emmett, when instantly Robert, the -
ather, levelled the gun and fired The ~
legro had wheeled and in bent posi-. VI
ION was running from the danger n'
e saw threatening. The shot took !"
lect IN his neck and shoulder. The al
egro took the bushes and the Jen.
ms went TO their home. va
No arrest was made until Tuesday ~
hen Justice Robert Wilson issued "A VII
arrant against each Of the jenkins .
all was furnished and on Wednesday VI
lie case was heard before three justices. .
hey fined Robert Jenkins $50 and
'sts and Emmett and William were
ch required to pay the costs Of their
rest and trial
The result Of the trial seems to have
ven much satisfaction to all parties ,oe
ncerned and the two principals to the T.
fortunate affair went from the
urt scene, each apparently a. friend ,,,,
to the other a he had ever been.

Dr. Chas. II. Utter, a prominent ply
sician OF Panama, Colombia, In a re-
cent letter states: Last March / had
as patient a young lady sixteen years
OF age, who had a very bad attack of
dysentery. Everything prescribed for
her proved Intellectual and she was
growing worse every hour. Her parents
were sure she would die. She had be-
come so weak that she could not turn
over In bed. What to do at this criti-
cal moment was a study for me, but
thought OF Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a
last resort prescribed II. The most
wonderful result was effected. Within
eight hours she was feeling much bet

~IN made at Pearl Harbor until
the dredging OF the channel
has been completed. Con-
gress will not make an appropriation
for the work until a ship can come
across the bar" said Admiral J. j..
Merry last evening.
III the contract had been carried
through as originally intended an APP
propriation for the remaining improve
ments might have been obtained at the
short session OF Congress to be held In
November. This is impossible now in
view of the failure OF Clark & Henry
to carry out their contract. They
want to sub-let II to Cotton Bros, OF
this city, and / have recommended to
Col. Heucr Of the engineers who let the
contract and to the Navy Department AT
Washington that this be permitted. II
1t is not done then the department will
be under the necessity OF advertising
for bids, and there will be the same
danger of letting the contract to some
firm which Is unable to do the work.
or Cousc the present contract with
Henry n Clark for dredging out the
bar might be forfeited, but as | have
said this would require much more
time TO finish the work. one extension
was granted to the contractors In the
time OF beginning work, otherwise the
contract should have been completed
in October. The firm here, can, | think
do the work. and open the bar sooner
than would be accomplished by letting
"A new contract.
This unfortunate delay In the work
on the bar will OF necessity cause fur
ther delay upon the improvements at
Pearl Harbor, for nothing will be done
there until the bar has been drcdged
out. No ship could get through. any
way. SO further improvement AT the
naval station would be useless until
this is done.
The plans have all been made for
the building Of Pearl Harbor naval sta
tion. There will be warehouses
wharves, barracks, water lines, pumps,
necessary buildings, and probably dry
/ docks, but these will be n long time
coming. l can't say how soon work Will
be commenced 1t may be possible that
the appropriation may be made by
| Congress at the short session. but this
is not likely in view OF the condition
OF the dredging contract. However the
money may be obtained at the next ses'
sion II not at this one, and then the
work will commence at once. The title
to the Pearl Harbor lands Is now clear
excepting as To the Honolulu Plantation
/ co. | do not know what action viii b'
taken as to the compromise agreed up
on here; the papers are now in Wash

AS soon as the improvements con
templated are made the oahu Railway

OF the navy. This will connect the sta
tion direct with Honolulu"
