Man Shot! First Blood for Evans!
On Monday night last, Mr. Lem EVANS, four miles south of town, discovered a man
helping himself to some corn from his crib, and as he had had some stolen every
night for a week, thought he would put a stop to it. It was quail shot that
struck the fellow, and Lem thinks it was about two hundred yards as near as
could guess, that the blood marked the path of his hasty retreat.
