Mr.. Hossfield, who has been the

all matter of training of an alert mind
and body.

MAN SHOOTS COUSIN DE
AT BARRINEAU PARK CHI
Houston Wells Wounds His Cousin,
David Wells, Following Drunken
Wrangle.

In a shooting Array at Barrineau
Park, 80 miles northwest of Pensacola,
yesterday afternoon David Wells was
shot twice with a shotgun, one load
taking effect in the right arm and
shoulder and the other striking him in
the face. His right eye was put, out.
Sheriff Ellis and Deputy Graham hur-
ried to the scene of the shooting and
arrested Houston Wells, a cousin of
the wounded man, and he is now in
the county Jail facing charge OF as
sault and attempt to murder.
w Family Quarrel.
From all accounts both men had
been drinking too freely OF moonshine
liquor. During a little friendly play
it is said that some one pushed David
Wells down. A quarrel followed. He
procured a single barrel shotgun and
threatened to shoot, but Houston took
the gun away from him. There was
a further argument and Houston Wells
Is alleged to have shot his cousin in
the shoulder. Following this the man
now in jail went to his house which
was only a short distance away, and
David got another gun this time a
repeating rifle, and is alleged to have
gone TO Houston's home and fired sew
eral shots into the house. 1t was then
that he was shot the second time with
a load OF No. 6 shot, the load taking
effect in his face.
Shot to Kill.
When Sheriff Ellis and Deputy Ora
ham arrived the rifle was laying inside
the yard. The occupant OF the house
threatened to shoot any one who at
temped to remove 1t until they got
there. However, when the officers ar
rived he gave no truoble. and was
put under arrest. The victim was
under the care of DR.. Watson OF Mo-
limo, who advised that he was in no
condition to be brought to JAIL AL
though seriously wounded it is not
thought that the mans life is in dan
ger.
When a Journal reporter talked
with Houston Wells at the Jail he said
that he was sorry that he had to shoot
his cousin. but that he had all inten-
tons of shooting to kill. A 'rung"
shell is being held as evidence in the
case. Evidently it was overlooked
when the would-be murderer loaded
the gun. The rife and shotgun and a |
pistol are also being kept as evidence |
