 Shooting in Madison County.

Lem Fitch shot and seriously wounded Willie Sanders, son Of Wash Sanders, Friday afternoon some five miles from Huntsville. So far as could be learned 1t ap- pears the two had called on some young ladies, and as they were leaving Fitch, who was drinking, fired off his pistol once or twice. Sanders endeavored to persuade him to deslst and Fitch became angry and turned his gun on his companion, shooting him three times, in the back, arm and leg.
 Fitch made his escape, and at last report had not been appre- hended. We understand the rel atiyes of Sanders have offered a d reward of S10o tor the arrest of Fitch. It k thought young San deTS VIII recover.
 Fitch has been involved iu a number Of shooting scrapes prior to this, and few years ago shot Jess Withrow at Whitener, who subsequently, died from his inju- ries. For this offense Fitch was  tried and escaped with nominal fine.
 It is predicted that further trouble will result from Friday shooting, as the relatives and friends of Sanders are not likely to pass the matter over lightly.
