Ellis Lewis, a colored man who had been nearly blind for the past three years, 
died at his home in this town Thursday night. He lost his sight from the 
effects of a bullet wound in the head inflicted by one Wm. Lewis, at the 
Stella plantation, during the year 1882. The party who did the shooting 
claimed that it was accidental, and the charge made against him before the 
District Court was finally placed on the dead docket.
