Negro Shooting

Bot Acres, colored, shot and fat
ally wounded Sam Reed, another
negro Tuesday afternoon at 4.SO on
Ninth street opposite the opera
house. Acres it is said, had threat
ened to do the shooting and armed
himself with that object in view.
Laut winter his foot was crushed
in an accident on the railroad and
was amputated.
Sam Reed, it is alleged, for sew
eral months has been paying at
tentions to Acres wife and on that
account had recently had trouble
with Acres. Shortly before the
shooting the two had engaged in
a physical encounter; but Acres,
being a cripple, had received the
worse end. This enraged him and
caused the killing. $50
One shot was fired, the bullet en-
tering the back of the head ano
severing an artery. Loss OF blood
causerd the death. Reed lived al
hour, but never regained conscious
ness. ~
| Before the loss Of his foot Acre
had been hard worker and he ha
always had good reputation. AT
ter the shooting he gave himsel
up and was placed in Jail. Tn
