W.F. Brobston was shot through the ‘upper part of the right thigh from in frontand in the left breast. The ball in the breast passed through and was flattened on a newspaper in the breast pocket of his coat, and was thus prevented from entering the cavity, though it made a ter- rible flesh wound, The entire affair was over in a few moments. Drs. Robbins and Purnell were telephoned for at once and, securing a special engine, left at5 p.m. for that place. They returned here between 7 and8 p.m., bringing with them W. #. Brobston, who is now at Mrs, Harper's boarding-house, and Justice Hawkins. who was taken to the hospital. Mrs. Brobston came with her husband, and Mrs. Hawkins is expected hourly, Mr. Bobbs was takea home, The principals in the affair are brothers-in- law of Bishop Galloway, and among the most estimable citizens of thecounty. W. F. Brob- ston and F. W. Brobston were rivals for super- visor, the latter being a brother of W. H.

Ashort time before his death Atherton made a will in which he divided his property equally among his wife and children, but provided the mother should become guardian of the boys and hold their portions in trust, tobe paid in such amounts and at such times as she thought discreet.
