ns a result of a shooting affray that
almost resulted disastrously. The
shootlpg caused much excitement for .

the result of carelessness and not

Thq other night, Smith with some '

had a 45-callbro revolver and while
walking up the ral'road track fired,
the gun nromlsciously.
One of the bullets went crashing

At first, it was thought that the
