AFFRAY IN WETUMPKA, ALABAMA

We learn from the Wetumpka papers that an affray occurred in that town on 
the 1st instant, between several citizens and a number of disorderly 
persons, in which guns, pistols and other weapons were used and which 
resulted in the death of one of the individuals named McQUIRK, of the party 
of disorganizers and the wounding of a young man named Joseph A. DAVIS, on 
the part of the citizens. Mr. DAVIS is a native of Abbeville District and 
was known by many. His relatives and friends here will be gratified to learn 
that his wound is not a dangerous one, though pretty severe. A reward of 
$100. is offered for the arrest of a man named William HILL.
