Shooting Spree
As a result of a shooting affray in No. 19, Polk BROOKS is at his home with one bullet in his person, having been fired from the pistol of Tade INNESS last Monday morning. There has been much bad feeling between the parties for some time. They own adjoining  farms. Last fall BROOOKS bought a picture gallery and set up on
his own land near his home, but close to the line between himself  and INNESS. There was some trouble about the location of the gallery and finally one night it burned. BROOKS accused INNESS  of setting fire to it and spread the report over the community.This incensed INNESS and several times trouble has been narrowly averted. On one occassion some weeks ago, Polk and Tom  BROOKS, with shotguns, abused INNESS at Limbs store. Monday morning they were working in adjoining fields, within easy talking  distance of one another, and renewed the quarrel. Mr. BROOKS  climbed the fence and started toward INNESS, the latter opening
fire upon him with a 44 calibre Colts pistol. Only one ball took effect, in the fleshy part of the right hip, inflicting a painful , though not serious wound. The shooting created much excitement in the neighborhood. INNESS came to Dresden and gave himself up to Sheriff ACREE. Trial set for Tuesday, June 20 in Esq. IRVINE's 
court. INNESS' bond is set at $1,500.
