head would be the cause of his death.

to last reports, and his chances for re-
covery are good. An effort was made

Of his wound the latter died at the city

noon. The two negroes were assisting
in cleaning off base ball ground when
an argument arose, leading to a dispute
and an exchange of curses and threats.
Woodland then left the scene of the
dispute and went to his home after his
pistol, soon returning and to find that
Mobley had gone away and hidden in
underground near by. Upon learning
where the object Of his wrath was hiding
Mobley approached the spot. Both
negroes drew their weapons but each
tailed to discharge. However, on a
second attempt both fired and almost
simultaneously. The dead man missed
nus mark, but the others aim was better.
