Mr.. Spires, between Z and s O'CLOCK
this morning.
None of the men are CONSIDERED
fatally wounded, and all were brough;
ON to the city, where their wounds
we're dressed. The negro has a flesh
wound in the left thigh. The bullet
passing completely through his leg'
jerks Randall was shot in the lett
groin, the bullet making its exit from
the back. Young Moseley Randall Is
probably the most seriously wounded.
He was hit twice, once in the upper
right arm, while another bullet pass
ed through the upper part OF the
right chest, grazing the lungs.
It is rather difficult to get any clear
story of the immediate difficulty anu
of incidents or acts that may have
led up to the shooting, and it has
even been alleged that one or more OF
Mr.. spires's sons were involved IN
the affair.
The two young men who were
wounded assisted by another man.
were, by the orders of the county
commissioners, working road gang
of nine men on public highway
known as the Silver Bluff road, and
said to pass through the property OF
Mr.. Spires; that the latter objected
to the gang doing any work on that
part of the road passing through his
property declaring that he would work
it himself. The road was a public
highway, or at least has been so con-
sidered fer years, and the young men,
It is said, ignored Mr.. Spires direc-
tions, which, it seems precipitated
matters with the results in the fore
going
When tie road work got CO Mr.
Sr.rcs' rlace, the latter cam2 - :henl,
il is sa;l, aid told them not to WORK
that part cf the road, he would do
it himself; and he would shoot the
first man that lifted shovel of dirt.
Moseley Randall, it is alleged, pro-
c9eded to throw a shovelful of dirt
into the wagon and Mr. Spires shot
him. jerks Randall then ran forward
to lift his brother from the place
where he had fallen, when he himself
received a bullet from Mr.. Spires
magazine pistol It is rather difficult
to find just how the old negro hap
pened to get in the way of one of the
deadly missiles Both Randall boys
state that they were unarmed..
Sheriff H. H. Howard and Rural
Policeman Holley arrested Mr.. Spires
without any difficulty ad the grand
jury foreman has been arranging for
bail. 1t is understood that he has
already procured the services Of
Messrs. Henderson as counsel, and
that he may retain the services also
of Senator John F. Williams.
The affair has caused a great deal
of excitement today, and groups of
men could be seen on the streets dis
cussing it animatedly.

the hero role at a fire,which destroyed

stall and unwilling to rise, being ap-
paTently resigned to its fate. The
first time the coupling of the hose
broke and the fireman was compelled
10 beat hasty retreat. On the sec
ond attempt, however, he succeeded,
in imminent peril to himself, in arous-
ing the animal and getting it to safety.
The fire broke out about I o'clock,
the cause being unknown. When first
seen. the flames were breaking through
the roof, and by the time the depart
ment arrived little could be done be
sides completing the rescue of the
animals in the structure.
There were four horses belonging
to the city, and a COW, the property

partment reached the scene. While

ing, they kept the flames from attack
ing other barns nearby.
In the destroyed building was
quantity of hay and oats. The loss is
about $500.
