ROPER A shooting affair occurred yesterday between Allen Wheeler and J. W. Roper, at Curry's Gin, opposite this place. Wheeler was hit twice in the bowels, from which he died at 1 o'clock today. Misunderstanding about the division of some cotton was the cause. (The above was apparently reported to the Sentinel via postcard sent by J. M. McCain of Montgomery, La.)
