Sensation at Breeding.

The people of Breeding were greatly
SURPRISED Monday morning upon learn
ing that quite sensation and great
deal of excitement had occurred at the
home of Mr.. Dock Rupe Sunday night
before the midnight hour. The partic-
ulars as we gather them from people
who live in the neighborhood are about
as follows:
Mr.. Rupe, who is said to be good
citizen, was from home in the early
part of the night, returning about 1920
or IL o'clock. When he reached his
home he found Porter James in his
house and in bed with his wife. He
grabbed his gun, but his wife caught
him and prevented him from shooting,
giving James an opportunity to fee
from the premises. But before he got
out of the yard Mr.. Rupe fired at him,
but he escaped. came on to Columbia
and took the O'Clock hack. Mr.. RUPEES
wife was Coomer. We understand
that warrants have been issued for
james and the woman.
Later.-The woman in the case came
to Columbia Monday and took the
O'Clock hack this morning. The suposi-
ton is that she is gone to meet James.
