In row near Prater's Bridge last
Saturday three men--W. D. Carter, Ira
Langston and Sam Quarles-were shot
and more or less seriously wounded.
Garter received rifle ball in the thigh,
| and Langston flesh wound from a rifle
ball. Sam Quarles was slightly wounded
by charge from shotgun. 1t is stated
that Carter loaned the three men his
horse and buggy to go to the mountains
for whiskey, and on their return the four
men became involved in a drunken row,
which resulted as stated above. All are
said to have been the best of friends be-
fore the arrival of the bug-juice on the
scene. DR.. Isbell dressed the wounds of
the three men, who are said to be getting
along as we'll as possible.
