 herd's Shot.

Florence Shepherd. a negress. shot and seriously wounded another negress, Fanny Hogan. early Monday morning. The shooting occurred out on Peacock's Tract about o'clock, and was one of several other less serious affairs that may be ascribed 10 a dance given on the Tract. Florence Shepherd was arr rested by Officers Duke and Rob bertson yesterday morning at 2:2o and is held at police headquarters on a charge of suspicion. The result of the shooting will determine the charge upon which she will be tried.
 The shooting was done with a 32- calibre pistol fired point blank. and the ball penetrated the right side of the negress just below the armpit. The surgeon in charge of the case stat ed last night that the wounded negress, while in a critical condition, had good chance for recovery.

During last season Heine. on the advent of Neal Ball, was allowed to buy his release and make his own terms with the Au- gusta, Ga,, club of the South Atlantic
 An effort had been made by the Mont gomery club to sell him to some town in the Cotton States without giving valuable services that Busch had al- ways given the Montgomery Club this would have been manifegtly unfair, and after pressure was brought to bear he was finally allowed to make his own terms with Augusta.
 He played third base last season for the Augusta team and was considered ono of the fastest men in that league. while he was as great a favorite with tho Augusta fans as he was in Mont gomery.
 It Is not only Heine Busch's ball playing qualities that. has made him such a universal favortte in Montgom- cry and Augusta.
