SUPPOSED HIGHWAYMAN SHOT-
Buford Mahan Shoots Negro As
saulting Him in the Road.
Tuesday evening, shortly after
dark, while Buford Mahan, a
young man whose home is at Pine
Log, was going along the Tennes
see road home in his buggy, five
or six miles out of town, he heard
some one coming down the road in
front of him, cursing and talking
loud. When the person met him
squarely, both stopped in the road,
when the person, with renewed
oaths, cast a good-sized chunk of
wood at Mahan, which struck the
Top of the buggy and partially hit
the young man. The person then
rushed at him as if to grapple with
him, when Mahan drew his revol
ver and fired.
In the dark Mahan could not
ell what the effect of his shot was,
but believed his assailant was a
negro, and that he had hit him. as
after the shot there was a yell as
if from pain. He came back to
town and reported his experience,
and gave himself up to the sheriff.
The person hit proved to be a
negro, and tUe charge struck him
in the throat, making a very ugly
wound. He came to town, and was
carried to the jail, where he now
is. He is not known, and has as
yet given no satisfactory explana
tion of the encounter with Mahan.
Mahan thought he was holding him
uptorobhim. Mahan war released
on a bond of SI,OOO.
