On Tuesday morning, Mr.. Barney
Jordon was shot, on his farm near
town, by a negro named Peter
Goats, the ball passing through the
lungs, about an inch above the
heart. Mr.. Jordan had in his employ
4 son of Goats, and went to the lat
ter's house for the boy who had run
away. While there an alteration
arose between Mr.. Jordon and the
negro, resulting in the negro's
drawing his pistol and shooting
Mr.. Jordan, and as Mr.. Jordan drew
forth his pistol, the negro snatched
it from him and made his escape
with both weapons. Sheriff Corley
of Lexington, with his blood hounds
was telegraphed for who came ip q
few hours, but the negro could not
be trailed, and up to present time is
still hiding. Mr.. Jordan is getting
on as well as could be expected
from the nature of the wound, and
unless some complications set in the
wound will not prove fatal.
LATER: The negro boy has been
and his father has been
located near Sand Bar ferry on Sa-
