was the outcome of toe domestio
troubles of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wil-
jamgt au(j
W. D. Harrington got a
bullet in his right thigh, making a

amination took place this Thursday af
ternoon before Justice Clements who
placed Williams under 91500 bonds to
appear at the July term of circuit
court on a charge of attempted man
slaughter. The facts as shown by the
evidence were that Harrington had

mine where he is working and called
about 9 p.m. at the residence of Hollis

sage to her from her sister. They
went for a walk down the street and
as they were on the sidewalk near
L. C Brown's house on I street,
Williams overtook them on a wheel
and quickly dismounting and drawing
a rsvoler fired three shots at Harring
ton. The first shot struck Harrington
in the thigh and the other shots missed
him as he was by that time doing seme
rapid running. Mrs. Williams fled to
a reBidenoe and Williams went to his
home not knowing that he had shot
Harrington until the officers came
