business early last night when
Smith returned with a shot gun and
without warning took shot at his
erstwhile friend and family grocer.
1t was fortunate for Shelby that
the gun was loaded with light bird
shot instead Of buck shot, as Smith
declared he thought it contained,
Smith was about two hund ed feet
away from the sroceryman when he
took the shot at him the result
was not disastrous, several of the
shot found lodgment in Shelbys
body; two struck his left wrist, in
hicting painful wounds, but not SER

seems odd that one or more men

vent a vote on such measure.
THE more public questions

one or more individuals can
strangle a vote which Is desired

archy.
Exceptions were filed to the
decision OF the secretary of

against allowing the people 10

Why this opposition? Why
try to prevent the people voting

The election senators is a
matter which concerns the en-
