with II pistol. Fortunately though
there was large crowd on the
grounds only one stray bullet struck
amy Of the people who were around,
and that hit Mr. Boyd Jacobs in the
foot inflicting painful though not
Il serious wound.
One Of The shots took effect in Mr..
BurIcy's shoulder inflicting a painful
flesh wound and Mr.. Wright has !.
severe cash on the top Of his head in.
flictcd by the billy in the hands of
Mr.. Bnrlry. just what gave rise to
lhrir quarrel has not been learned.
DR.. lillisor attended Mr.. Burlcy and
dressed his wound. The bullet was
ais" cut ont Of the foot of Mr.. Ja-
cobs by Drs. Pelham and Ellisor The
next morning. Mr.. Wright was also
