It seems from the reports that the negroes were • engaged in a game of cards when the woman became angered and threatened to shoot one of the men and left the game for her pistol and upon returning opened fire. The man whom she intended to shoot was standing directly in front of an other and when the gun was pointed at him he dropped and escaped the bullet intended for him but the man standing behind him received the shot and was seriously wounded, the shot the right breast. Sheriff Rickman landed the woman in jail and the man has been sent to a hospital.
