Snnday Shooting.
The holy quiet of last Sabbath
night was disturbed by a number
of pistol shots which sent bullets
flying In every direction. It wss
lust before the time for the train
from Thomasvllle, and the streets
wore full of people, who Inadver

bance was the attempted arrest of
one, Willoughby by Marshal Davis.
The town was la perfect darkness t

rest Mr. Willoughby for disorderly

run Into the darkness, when a. run- ,

Grady county, and Is usually very i
quiet. |
