THIS SHOOTING IS MYSTERIOUS
Target is Made of Negro Without
Cause


While Ed Dennard, a negro know
about town, was standing o. losel
Cotton avenue, near the steam lauLdiy,
late yesterday afternoon, he was shot
through the thigh by an unknown
white man passing.
That was Demands explanation OF
the shooting soIree.
He was severely wounded, the pistol
ball passing entirely through the
aeshy part of the negro's thigh as he
stood on the walk.
Dennard said that white man, I'M
known to him, drove rapidly down the
avenue in buggy. When opposite
the negro the white man pulled his
gun, Dennard says, and opened fire
without any propagation.
This is the closed season for shooting
negroes, and consequently Denuard
feels much hurt.
Up near the monument, later in the
day, country negro tried to behead
another with a pocket knife. One
negro held the victim while the knife
wielder drove the blade into his neck a
half dozen times.
The negro thus stabbed came near
dying. The would be. murderer es-
capped to the country.
