Nov. 10, 1837 November 1837
   -- We learn that at a Shooting Match, near Chalk Level in Granville County, 
a few days since, a controversy arose between MR. RUFUS BUTLER, recently of 
Raleigh, and MR. JOHN WIGGINS, which resulted in a fight, and terminated in 
the speedy death of MR. WIGGINS from a gun shot wound by MR. BUTLER. We have 
not heard the particulars, but presume from the fact of MR. BUTLER having been 
admitted to bail that there are some extenuating circumstances in his favor.
