Negro Lodged in Jail.

Frank Jones and John Burton. two
negroes. got in difficulty Saturday
and Jones shot Burton with shot
gun, literally filling him with shot
from head to feet. though it is not
known whether he is seriously injured
or NOT.
From what can be learned OF the
affair, it seems the two negroes liked
the same woman. Last year John
Burton claimed her as his woman
and this year Frank Jones says that
he had married her. But it seems that
Burton wasn't satisfied. so Saturday
afternoon he goes in search OF Jones
and the woman. which resulted in
Rurton's getting shot. the affair
taking place somewhere between Mr..
Clark Smiths and Mr.. Tom Daven-
ports places.
Saturday night Deputy Sheriff
Johnson went out and arrested Jones
and he is now in jail awaiting trial.
