II. Il. Monday q. m. from La Grange
report the details of a sensational
shooting affray which occurred ir
that town about 9 o'clock. The par.
ties are all prominent people and well
known in this city.
From the Information at hand if
seems that Mr.. Shade Wooten some
time ago nailed up some plank to
keep the public out of a back lot
This morning Mr.. Bill Harper, who
runs a livery stable in La Grange.
had occasion to use the back lot and
ne Knocked off the plank. This
caused renewal of the bad feeling
Which had existed for some time he
tween the Wootens and Harpers on
account of the fact that Mr.. Harner
had some months ago very seriously
cut Mr.. Simeon Wooten, close rela-
tive of the family.
Remarks of an unpleasant nature
We're made on both sides about the
fence question which reached the
ears OF both parties. Finally Mr..
Harper started down the street with
his knife in his hand. MIR. Richard
WOoten was sitting on the scales in
front OF the store of Mr. Waters. Inst
what took place when the two men
met face to face no one seems to
