A shooting affair occurred just over the line in cass county near Dayton on last Friday, which fortunately did not prove fatal, but owing to the prominence of the parties engayed, caused much excitement in that com- munity.

A violent quarrel ensued and it alleged, Dunham attempted to as- sault the physician, who drew a pis- tol and shot, the bullet however, missing Dunham but hitting a young- er brother in the shoulder, making a painful, but not serious wound. We have been unable to get further par- ticulars of the unfortunate affair, Dunham, Passenger Wreck on Mo. Pac. The passenger train on the Mo.
