NEGRO SHOT.
And Probably Fatally wounded ON
Mr. Poindsxter's Place.

Nathan Davis. n negro from the
Gavin place, shot and probably fatally
wounded John Hood ON Mr.. j. @.
Poindexter's place Tuesday night, the
shooting occurring in Nathan's house,
and was caused by domestic trouble.
The shot was from a A calibre pistol
and entered the left side, just below the
nipple, perforating the lungs. kidneys
and intestines, and he will in all proba
bility be II dead negro before this goes
to press. The ball was cut out of the
back on Wednesday morning by DR.
Hubbard.
1t seems that John Hood had divided
the affections Of Nathan's wife fol
some time. and Natha9 was goaded into
desperation by being twitted by the
other negroes. There was a singing Al
e neishborhood church Tuesday night,
and both negroes were present, ant
when John Hood left the place he wa
followed shortly by Nathan, who found
him in his house, and the shooting fol.
lowed-Nathan claiming that as he en-
tered the door John reached for hi
pistol, which was found in his breast
but that he (Nathan) got the first shut
with the above result. The murderer
has not been apprehended, but it is be
lieYed he will give himself up and Dtauc

ALLOWED BAIL.
Dave rinncr. for tho Murder Of
Edmond Harlan, Gives Hail
In sum Of $500.

The preliminary trial of Dave Finner,
charged with the murder Of Edmond
Harlan. was held Thursday evening be-
fore Justice |. T. Smith. and was al
lowed bail in the sum OF $500.
1t will be remembered that the killing
of Edmond Harlan occurred about ten
days ago, while he was in his W field.
and that his slayer had fed and whose
whereabouts were unknown. although
diligent search was made by the officers
to find some trace Of him; but a few
days ago the alleged slayer Dave Fin
nsr, quietly walked npon the scene and
gave himself up to the sheriff, WHIT
placed him in the county Jail, and the
kcommittal tlial was held with the above
result.
1t developed at the trial that the diff
Guilty arose between Finner and Harlan
| about some trash or old cotton stalks
which were thrown by one upon the
land CT the other, and which led to the
killing Of Harlan, but ~ to the facts in
the case the testimony was somewhat
conflicting. The principal witness for
the state was an old man named Tom
Roland, who testified that he was press
ept throughout the whole difficulty, aud
that at no time was Harlan aggressive.
This witness states that after u few
heated words were passed between the
two, Finner got on his horse with the
declared intention of killing Harlan, or
words to that effect, and drove away to-
wards his home and that he returned
shortly afterwards to the field where
HarlaL was at work and there deliber-
ately shot him-shot him down in cold
blood with a shotgun from the effects
Of wtich he died shortly afterwards,
was substantially corroborated by two
other witnesses who were working in an
adjoining field. and who wore partly
, eye witnesses, but as to those two latter
an attempt wal made by the defense ia
impeach their testimony by showing
that it would have been impossible for
them to have seen any Of the difficulty
on account of obstacles.
The star witness for the defence wal
one - Kyle, whose testimony was In
every respect different from any of that
produced by the state. Th1 witneSI
stated that, before Finner went aftal
his shotgun. Harlan had threatened tc
take his life during their quarrel abon,
the trash, and had cha ,ed him severa
times armed with a single tree. ant
that after Finner had returned with hi
shotgun Harlan still threatened to xii
him, and again ran after him with hi
single-tree and continued to pursue hin
with this declared intention until HI
! was shot down.
As stated above, the murderer wa
allowed bail in the sum Of $500, and hi
i. was turned out on Friday morning
with Mr.. Walter Price as surety.
