From a gentleman who arrived in the city yesterday, the Democrat learns that a man living near Apple- ton City, named Vaughn. stole aj mule trom a neighboring farmer last Saturday which he rode off in an easterly direction. The tarmer, on missing his animal, mounted a horse and went in pursuit of Vaughn, whom he came up with near Hu- mansville, Polk county. On getting sight of Vaughn, the farmer. fear- ing, as he states, that Vaughn would recognize him and escape, should he | try to ride up to him, called upon a Mr. Tillery, residing im the vicin- ity, and requested him to mount a horse,’overtake and stop Vaughn, and he, the tarmer, would come up afterwards. Mr. Tillery agreed to do so, and on reaching Vaughn told him he was a prisoner, and ordered him to dismount, which Vaughn did. Being unarmed, after waiting some time tor the farmer, who failed to put in an appearance Tillery turned his horse to look for him, when Vaughn suddenly drew a re- volver and fired, shooting Tillery through the need, knocking him from his horse and inflicting a dan- gerous wound. After shooting Til- lery, Vaughn remounted the mule und made his escape to the Tillery was conveyed to his home, where he lies in a very critical condition. As soon as they learned of the affair the neighbor: gathered an armed posse and started | in pursuit of Vaughn, but at last ac- counts he had not been found, al- : though the woods was tull ot armed H men on the hunt for him. -It is; thought Mr. Tillery may recover, | though his wound is a dangerous | one.
