Augusta Chronicle. #
On Sunday evening last, just after
sundown, Mr. Tufta.i Boyd was g >iot'
from his lather's residence lo Cobb
liain, about, eight milts from Timin'
son, when ho was fired on twice by
some par'ics who were in ambush.
The weapon used was a double bar
rel shot gun, loaded with buckshot.
The first shot took effect in his left
side ami breast, hut the second miss
ed him. II" was on horse back, nn<l
the horse became frighten ami ran off
with him. Just before he reached
Gobhhain he fell from his horse, utr
.conscious from the loss ofldood. Tin
nnirnal went on home, and a negro
man seeing him riderless immediate
ly started in search of Mr. Boyd, and
found him lying insensible on the
side of the road. Help was summon
ed, ami tho wounded man carried
back to his father’s house, and medic
cal aid procured. The physic inns
found that he had received in th e bit
arm, in tho left side, and two in the
breast. The most serious one is in
the left breast, just below tho nipple.
Tho people failed w> find the bull in
the wound, and it is feared that it is
fatal.
A second attempt was made on
Monday night to kill the young man
by shooting him, as he lay in bed,
tbrongh the window. This intention
was discovered, and the would bo as
sassins were driven off. Suspicion
was directed to three brothers, linin'
ed Martin, as tho perpetrators of the
deed. A party of men were organi'
zed and went to the place where tlie
shooting was done, nnd there they
found tho tracks of three parties,
These tracks weie followed to a house
occupied by Peyton Martin, where
one dropped out, anti the two remain
ing tracks were followed to the bouse
of Mr. It ibort A. Marlin, the father
of the Martin brothers. Tho tracks
were measured, and found to corres*
pond in size to the Marlins, On this
and other evidence warrants were
sworn out for the arrest of the broth
ers, and placed in tha hands of slier'
iff Norris, who summon'd a posse
and lift Thomson yesterday after
noon for the purpose ol arresting the
Marl ins.
It. is said that the t rouble grew out
of charges made l>v Miss Georgia
Martin against Boyd. Boyd, it is al
so said, promised to marry Miss Mat
tin, when confront, and with the accu
sation made by her, but failed to do
so. Proceedings were instituted
against him, and tho trial is set. down
olr trial at the September term of
McDuffie Superior Court. It is s a
ted that llmats against Btyd have
several times been made by the M ar
tins. There is much excitement in
McDuffie over the afl iir.

A couple, Mr, Henry Hill and

Fiorn the Apopka Citiren: We
dislike to publish anything which hits
the appearance of incredibility, yet
the following account of a chicken
tragedy cotnes to us so direct f.-oiu a
gentleman whose truthfulness is ut>*
questionable that we give it : Last
Wednesday morning a gentleman
living near Apopka City Fla,, pro
posed to sever the he id and body of
one ofitis liens who had a bad reputa-
tion, having been known to destroy
eggs and besides fighting aU( j
coming in the house. No sooner
had lie accomplished bis purpose
when the head cackled desperately
and the body walked about the yar d
as though nothing had happened.
j{c ran after the body but failed to
get it, ns it flew to the top of a pine,
where it now is—though lifeless.—

Evening Herald : We learn this
morning that a son of Mrs. Webb
was struck on the head the other day
by <>ne of the bosses at the watch
factory. From wl.at we could learn
it seems that tho superintendent had
lolt] the employes that it there were
any signs of one of tho lamps explod
ing to grab it tip ami throw it <-nt of
the building. The other day, Mrs.
Webb’s little son, who works at the
factory, noticed that cne of the lamps
was in a lair way of exploding, and
iii'media’eiy picked it up and cast it
into the street. As he did so, ono of
the bosses above spoken of rushed in
and picked up a slick of some kind
struck the little fellow over th<- head
hut with no serious result. The lit
tie fellow is doing well so far we
learn. It is said that a warrant has
been served upon the party who did
the striking.
