SHOOTING IN VILLA RICA

Mr. Sol Kilgore shot Mr. W.F. Black in the face with a pistol last Saturday. 
Cause not known. Suppose a little whiskey was the cause. Mr. Black is a very 
peaceable man. He is a brother-in-law of Kilgore. We are quite sorry the 
affair happened. Dr. Slaughter probed for the ball and found it between two 
bones in the neck and impossible to be extracted. Black may die or he may 
live.

Since the above was put into type, we have seen the Douglasville Star of the 
28th inst. and it states that the shooting took place near Douglasville on 
the road to Atlanta and that the wound was dressed by Dr. Selman of 
Douglasville and it was not considered serious. It also says that the 
shooting was supposed to be accidental.
