One Of the most important present

1t is not surprising that the service

A colony Of about fifty japanese are

Fred Dingus Shot

Charles Lewis negro, shot and
wounded Fred Dingus, mulauo, at
a negro festival at Tip Top last Satur-
day night. Il seems that Lewis and
his brother became involved in a row
over trivial matter. The brother Of
the man who shot Dingus began shoot
ing at Dingus without effect. Dingus.
finding it was getting two warm for
him took flight and was persued by
Charles Lewis. 1t is said that Dingus
ran for some distance and became en-
tangled in a wire fence, whereupon
Lewis sprang upon him, and shot him
in the side. The brother Of the man
who did the shooting, in the mean
time, made his escape. Charles Lewis
and his father were arrested and
brought to Jail here. We understand
that Lewis protests his innocence. or
that he knows nothing about the shoot
Ing Of Dingus.
