Robinson & Coj Augusta, Ga„ October 3, 1882. The Tnyo Independent tells of a sin - gular and bloody shooting affair, which occurred recently between Gordon Ellis and Pat Shea, at Bennett’s ranch, in Lincoln county, out‘toward the Co'ora-' d<-. A short time before the fight, Ellis sold some borax locations to the Cole man Borax Company,' receiving $5,000 therefor. On the day before his Inst, he got into a dispute with a Mexican, with whom he was gambling. Ifo no tified the Mexican that he .should then arid there shoot him, but only through the leg. as a warning of what would hap pen if he, Mexican, did not conduit himself in a proper manner. Thereupon lie did shoot the Mexican through the leg, and things went on smoothly un til the following day. Ellis then had some difficulty with Shea, with vhum he was gambling, and told bhea that he J aIH ( tactoriea ftus etfabled us to' inal meant to shoot him .through the leg, as he had the Mexican the preceding day, if Shea did not mend his ways. Shea dared him to shoot an unarmed man, as ho then was Ellis blazed away at Shea’s leg, sending a ball through it bejow.the knee.. Shea began abusing Ellis, whereupon and after due notice, Ellis perforated Shea’s other leg. During the shooting some msn’pres- ent hud started to their camp, a short distance away, to get their Henry riflles, whether to merely protect their own legs or with a view to interfering in be balf of the wounded man can only be surmised. While returning with their rifles they met Ellis, and with dtawn guns compelled him to go back. Com ing up to where Shea was, the latter, applying a foul epithet to one of the men with the rifles, added: “You want to shoot at an unarmed man, too, do you V’ At this the man addressed replied : “If you think I’m a coward, come out here,” concluding the remark by throwing his gun down on the ground, near Shea, and brandishing his lists. Shea, though with a pistol shot through each leg, advanced in a threaten ing manner toward the m n. but got no further than the rifle, which he imme diately snatched up. Up to this point Ellis had rein,lined sitting on his horse, apparently a .disinterested spectator; but when he eaw Shea pick up the gun he instantly slid off his horse, on the side fullest from Shea. The latter then cried to Ellis: “Now, if you wautto shoot at my legs any more, step out from behind tbut horse and blaze •way.” Ellis held his position behind the horse. Shea told him that he did not want to shoot the horse, but that if he did not come out at once, and “come a shootin’,” he would drop the horso so that he could shoot the man. Ellis saw there was no help for it, and dodg ing under his horse’s htad came “a shooting’ ” sure enough, bis first shot strikiug Shea (already twice wounded) in the groin and ranging upward. Shea howoyer, remained standing long enough to fire two shots at Ellis, the first with trifling effect, but the second knocking him in death throes to the grbund, She* falling the same instant. Shea was assured that ibere was no need of another shot, and lay down satisfied. Ellis almost immediately breathed Iub last. Shea likewise died before night. f ,,» t ,, M , J i„„ii t i,eTemtoJ;THE ADKINS HOUSE, Down with High Prices & Poor Shoes ! 293 members of Congress will be elected. ‘ THE SENSATION OF THE SEASON!!' 811 ClUx Street* Opposite Odd Fellows’Tall.
