Tom Higginbotham fatally wounds Tom Hubbard.

Royston, Ga, August 4.--(Special.)--At an annual reunion at Chapel Church, six 
miles east of Royston, after dinner, the people were suddenly thrown into such a 
heat of excitement as is seldom witnessed, by a pistol shot from the hands of Tom 
Higginbotham, who shot and mortally wounded Tom Hubbard. Higginbotham is a young 
man about twenty years old and unmarried. Tom Hubbard is twenty, recently married. 
The trouble leading to the difficulty is not known.

Tom Higginbotham made his escape and the infuriated friends of Hubbard are tonight 
acouring the country with bloodhounds in pursuit, Hubbard will die.
